WA Mental Health Services Plan
Mandate

WA Mental Health Services Plan
WA levers for change
Mental Health 2020
 The Plan will support implementation of the
directions outlined in ‘Mental Health 2020: making it
personal and everybody’s business’ which include a
greater focus on individualised supports for people,
improved coordination and more balanced
investment across the mental health sector
Stokes
 The Plan is being developed as part of the WA
Government’s response to recommendations from
the ‘Review of the Admission or referral to and the
discharge and transfer practices of public mental
health facilities /services in Western Australia’ (Stokes
2012)
WA Mental Health Services Plan
Western Australian Drug and Alcohol Planning
 In line with recommendations from the Stokes
Review regarding the need for improved
collaboration between mental health and alcohol
and other drug services and the government’s
announcement to amalgamate the MHC & DAO
the plan will incorporate alcohol and other drug
services planning concurrently being undertaken by
the Drug and Alcohol Office.

Current State plans exist in Victoria, NSW, SA, Queensland, ACT
and Tasmania.
The last endorsed WA MH Plan was in 1996.
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
