I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today the Wajuk people of the Noonygar nation, their ancestors and people who have walked the lands before them. I am proud to work, walk and live on their lands

Government requires a Services Plan for mental health services by December 2013 to guide investment decisions that:

Responds to the needs of the growing populationEmbeds the key mental health reform directionsMeets best practice standards and resourcing

benchmarksUses evidence based approachReflects the unique needs of the StateInforms funding model development

Fourth National Mental Health Plan

Action 16 in the Fourth National Mental Health Plan: An agenda for collaborative government action in mental health 2009-14• Action 16: Develop a National Mental Service Planning

Framework that establishes targets for the mix and level of the full range of mental health services, backed by innovative funding models.

This action is considered one of the foundation actions of the• 4th plan and the Commonwealth provided $2 million to

NSW and Qld Governments to develop the framework in collaboration with all jurisdictions

The project is known as the National Mental Health Service Planning Framework (NMHSPF)

National Mental Health Service Planning Framework

Key objectives • Nationally consistent - an ‘Australian Average’

estimate of need, demand and resources• Flexible and Portable - to suit jurisdictional priorities

and other variations in a user friendly format• Not all, but many - will not account for every

circumstance or service possibly required• Not who, but what - will capture the types of care

required, but will not define who is to deliver• Includes intersectoral linkages with housing,

employment and education• Evidence & Expertise - identify what services ‘should

be’ provided underpinned by evidence

The National MH planning framework methodology can give us a WA Framework that does the following:

Enables us to do State-wide population based planning to determine the evidence based ‘blue print’ for Mental Health services into the future including:

The detail for the mix and level of services including taxonomies and facilities guidelines

The detail for the mix and level of services including standards, care packages & pathways

Informing costing for example cost benchmarking; cost weights; activity based funding models

WA Mental Health Service Plan WEEK 8 this week and counting down …

Service Mapping completed and modelling work commenced Steering Committee & Consultation groups(CG) have met regularly

since August and provided with policy context, rationale for national mental health services planning and scope of the work being undertaken

CG Provided with an overview of the process for development of the National Framework and definitions and endorsed the process

Models of service have been reviewed and recommended Groups have been provided with the key aspects of the methodology for

development of the WA Framework and will be provided with a summary of the current WA estimates produced by the model at the next meeting

A series of targeted forums are underway to ensure consideration of populations with unique needs, including consumers, carers and family members ,Aboriginal communities, people living in rural and remote areas, multicultural and youth

Online feedback survey is available on the MHC website

To Deliver …WA Mental Health Services Framework

Applies National Mental Health Services Planning Framework to inform and determine the type/quantity of services required for WA

Maps existing services Identifies gaps and imbalances Informs and aligns with the WA Health Clinical Services Framework

The WA Mental Health Services Plan Will assist in developing strategic directions and priorities based on demand

modelling and expert opinion, balancing short and long terms goals, and ensuring appropriate resource application

Will describe key demand drivers for future mental health service planning in WA and apply them to the WA context to predict future requirements

Will not seek to specify how services will be delivered at a local level – further consultation and consideration of local issues and services is required to determine how to best deliver services at a local level
