Every three months, the mental health service receives a report on our performance. We receive a large report based on all returns, and reports for each team based on their own performance. All mental health teams discuss their results and come up with Action and Change Plans to improve what you are telling us needs improvement.
Our peak committee for consumer and care engagement, Partnering with Consumers, Carers and the Community Committee (PWCCC), is made up of senior staff, consumers and carers. They review the Inpatient Returns Report (relates to hospital-based services) and Ambulatory Returns Report (relating to Community Health-based services).
After reviewing the reports, the PWCCC develop an Action and Change Report for Inpatient (Hospital-based) Services, and another for Ambulatory (Community-based) Services.
Below are the state-wide reports on the experience of consumers and carers who access our mental health services:
