<DIV><FONT size=3>State Mental Health Policy and Strategic Plan 2010-20 for
Western Australia (WA)<BR><BR>The Department of Health's Mental Health Division
recently appointed Pricewaterhouse Coopers Pty Ltd to undertake a comprehensive
review of mental health services and assist with the development of a state
mental health policy and strategic plan. This work will include comprehensive
consultation with stakeholders. <BR><BR>The State Mental Health Policy and
Strategic Plan 2010-20 for WA will guide the reform and redesign of mental
health services and investment in mental health in WA. It is anticipated that
significant gains can be achieved through major systems reconfiguration and
shifting from a response based on illness and acute intervention to one
focussing on wellness, early intervention and recovery.<BR><BR>You can have your
say via the online survey or submissions at www.pwc.com/au/mentalhealthsurvey
This has been extended until 24 July 2009.<BR><BR>Improving the mental health of
all Western Australians is the shared responsibility of all levels of
government, private and non-government sector agencies and the wider community.
Please encourage your peers and networks to make a submission or complete the
survey.<BR><BR>For any enquiries, please contact PricewaterhouseCoopers at
mentalhealthsurvey@au.pwc.com or call 9238 3126.<BR><BR>We look forward to your
participation in this important project.<BR>Dr Steve Patchett<BR>Executive
