Leading Reform 2026

The Queensland Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs, and Suicide Prevention Leaders Summit is a forum for leaders, people with lived and living experience, carers, frontline clinicians and workers, service providers, policy-makers, funders, planners and decision-makers.

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

Driving reform

We are driving change to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all Queenslanders. Our focus is on preventing and reducing the impacts of mental illness, problematic alcohol and other drug use, and suicide.

Reform is shaped by the voices of people with lived experience and delivered through strong collaboration across government, community and service sectors. By working across health, education, communities, justice, employment and other key portfolios, we are turning commitment into action and delivering better outcomes for Queenslanders.

However, the challenge for the mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention sectors is to implement the substantial reform agenda and maintain momentum in the face of ongoing demand.
