QAMH is in partnership with Queensland Health to develop a Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Strategy. The purpose of the Strategy is to articulate the distinctive workforce issues unique to the sector, as opposed to the mental health system more broadly, and detail the specific actions that will be required to address them. The Issues Paper was published in February 2023 and formed the basis of QAMH’s state-wide consultations with the sector. The Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Survey results were released in October 2023. The draft Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Strategy 2024-2029 and the draft Core Competency Framework were released mid-November 2023.
