Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Mark Butler, and the Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs and Minister for Disability Reform, Jenny Macklin, have invited Australians to help carve out the future of our mental health system with the release of the draft Ten-Year Roadmap for National Mental Health Reform for public consultation. The Roadmap will provide governments, the community sector, workplaces and communities themselves with a measurable, long term national reform plan for mental health which will guide where we focus our attention and funding over the next 10 years and ensure our mental health system ranks as one of the world’s best. Ms Macklin said the Roadmap would complement the Government’s progress towards a National Disability Insurance Scheme. The community will be able to provide their comments on the Roadmap through a new online tool. The online survey tool is an open form of consultation to help gather the broadest range of feedback on the draft roadmap. It will be available until 1 February 2012 on the mental health page of the Department of Health and Ageing website – www.health.gov.au/mentalhealth
