Working together for reform

Meaningful reform happens when people, communities, organisations and governments work together. No one can achieve this alone.

We support reform by:

  • bringing people together
  • fostering collaboration across sectors
  • promoting opportunities for people with lived-living experience, families, carers and supporters to influence reform
  • sharing knowledge, evidence and emerging practice
  • influencing policy, planning and system improvement
  • supporting whole-of-government approaches.

Who we partner with

Our partners and stakeholders include:

  • people with lived-living experience
  • families, carers and supporters
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities
  • government agencies
  • non-government and community groups
  • service providers and frontline workers
  • researchers and academics
  • advocates and representative bodies
  • funders and decision-makers.

Beyond Blue partnership

We partner with Beyond Blue to help Queenslanders access trusted mental health information and support.

Through this partnership, people can access free services and resources that:

  • support mental wellbeing
  • improve mental health literacy
  • encourage help-seeking
  • reduce stigma around mental health.

The partnership supports prevention and early intervention, helping more people stay well and get support when they need it. It also helps improve access to support for people living in rural, regional and remote Queensland.

People with lived-living experience help shape and inform the work delivered through the partnership.
