Mapping Project
Start Date: April 2008
Estimated Completion Date: December 2008
Summary:
This project will gain a current picture of the mental health sector in NSW, as there has been significant change over the past few years. A literature search and NGO survey will provide information about current strengths, gaps and opportunities for improvement in service delivery.
Anticipated Outcomes:
• Identify the capacity and quality of the current NGO mental health sector, including NGOs funded by bodies other than NSW Health.
• Provide recommendations for NSW Health about opportunities for developing the sector.
Who is involved:
• Jenna Bateman, CEO (in consultation with the Board)
• Edwina Pickering, Project Consultant
• ARTD, Data Analyst Consultants
• MDHAO’s Continuing Care Working Group
Opportunities for involvement:
Sector wide opportunities for mental health funded NGOs, as well as other NGOs that provide mental health activities funded by other bodies. Input will be invited through a survey to be distributed in mid 2008. MHCC will also seek input from individuals and/ or agencies with specific expertise as needed.
