A Message from SA Mental Health Commissioner Chris Burns CSC

Partnering with South Australians to implement the SA Mental Health Strategic Plan 2017–2022

It’s an exciting time for the SA Mental Health Commission as we partner with South Australians to implement the SA Mental Health Strategic Plan 2017–2022.

Each project we are undertaking in partnership with South Australians – now and into the future – will be aligned to the three Core Strategies outlined in the Plan.

These Core Strategies are built on priorities identified by South Australians through the wide-ranging consultations undertaken to inform the development of the Plan.

The Plan, which was released in December 2017, sets a 20-year vision for mental health and wellbeing in South Australia, focusing on state-wide strategic directions over the next five years to build a more resilient, compassionate and connected South Australian community.

We continue to work toward our vision of South Australia being internationally recognised as a resilient, compassionate and connected community that takes a whole-of-person, whole-of-life, whole-of-government and whole-of-community approach to building, sustaining and strengthening the mental health and wellbeing of South Australians in order to grow our State’s mental wealth.

The Commission is in a unique position to partner with South Australians and bring together all stakeholders including people with lived experience of mental illness, their families, friends and carers; the community, service providers, government, non-government and private organisations, clinicians, academic institutions and the private sector. We also work across government agencies including housing, health, education, employment, justice and disability.
