Reviewing progress in mental health reform
The Commission undertook a mid term review of Living Well in 2019. As part of this review, the Commission consulted with a broad range of stakeholders around NSW to consider the progress that has been made against Living Well over the first five years and to identify priorities and opportunities for the remaining five years of the strategy. The Commission has provided advice to the Minister for Mental Health about priorities for reform and a refreshed Living Well strategy will be delivered to the Minister in late-2020.
