Category: Submissions
In this pre-budget submission to the Queensland government’s June 2022 budget, QAMH calls on the government to:
- Increase investment by a minimum of 35% in the non-government community mental health and wellbeing sector
- Develop a contemporary Queensland Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Strategy
- Ensure Queensland Health contracts are consistently five years in length and include indexation linked to CPI
- Establish community alternatives to emergency departments across Queensland
QAMH acknowledges and pays deep respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia. We honour their Elders past and present, whose knowledge, leadership, and cultural practices have sustained these lands for millennia.
