Project Officer, Reform Implementation
2 weeks ago
**About the role**:
Backed by an unprecedented investment in response to the findings of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Division in the Department of Health is embarking on the ambitious policy challenge of reshaping the mental health system in Victoria to change the way mental health services are delivered in Victoria. These reforms also include a focus on supporting integrated services for people with co-occurring mental health and substance use issues.
The Royal Commission found that the existing, centralised approaches to planning, commissioning and monitoring in mental health and wellbeing contributed to decision-making which often did not reflect local needs and lacked integration with other services, leading to fragmentation, duplication, and gaps in service delivery. The Royal Commission recommended new regional governance structures as a way to support health and mental health services to be more responsive to local needs. The Project Officer of Regional Governance will be responsible for progressing the design and implementation of these recommendations. The role will involve systems thinking, stakeholder consultation, policy design and implementation work.
