NSW Pre-Budget Submission
In its submission MHCC advocate four overarching budget priorities related to CMO services. These are by no means ‘new asks’ but are long overdue investments that have become increasingly urgent in what is a dynamic service delivery environment stretched to its limit. Services must be staffed by a skilled and sustainable workforce that has the capacity to grow and meet future demands across a diversity of clinical, support and peer roles. MHCC also highlights supporting people to stay well, thrive and meet their aspirations in the community; ensuring safe transitions from acute inpatient settings to community and minimise admissions and re-admissions; and supporting MHCC’s capacity to remain a strong membership organisation to ensure a growing and sustainable mental health CMO service sector.
