Queensland Mental Health Commission Leading Reform Summit 2022

 

 


The Queensland Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs, and Suicide Prevention Leaders' Summit

23-25 November 2022, Hotel Grand Chancellor Brisbane

Leading Reform Summit 2022

The Leading Reform Summit is the Queensland Mental Health Commission’s annual two-day forum for leaders in Queensland’s mental health, alcohol and other drugs, suicide prevention and associated human services sectors.

The summit is intended to be a powerful catalyst to align leaders, develop solutions to problems, introduce new strategies, fuel collaboration, harness the collective knowledge of sector leaders and drive the reform agenda forward.

Discussion will include the recent Queensland Parliamentary inquiry into Queensland’s mental health system, which has resulted in increased investment. 

Leading Reform Summit key themes

  • Queensland’s reform agenda: past, present, future
  • Embedding lived experience-led reform
  • Building a truly community-centric system
  • Strengthening Queensland’s harm reduction responses to alcohol and other drugs
  • Driving multi-faceted and compassionate suicide prevention approaches
  • Shifting upstream: through prevention, promotion and early intervention within and beyond the health system

Additional days

For the first time, there will be two additional forums either side of the two-day summit on:

  • Developing Queensland’s lived experience workforce (full day - Tuesday 22 November 2022). This day is being developed and hosted by partners BrookRED and QLEWN.

  • Addressing critical whole-of-system workforce issues (half day - Friday 25 November 2022)
