In 2020, NSW published its Aboriginal mental health and wellbeing strategy 2020-2025 in an effort to improve the provision of culturally appropriate mental health and wellbeing services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in NSW. We have been commissioned to evaluate the strategy.
We’ll be working closely with the NSW Ministry of Health through to June 2025 to examine:
- how the strategy was developed
- how plans to implement it were developed and supported
- how it is being monitored and evaluated
- how the workforce required is being supported and developed
- how the Aboriginal cultural models of mental health and wellbeing care (developed by us) are being incorporated
- what impact the strategy has had.
We have a strong interest in the extent and process of co-design, and will privilege the voices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients, carers, community members, staff and service providers.
We’ll be supported by an Aboriginal Advisory Group and an Aboriginal Data Group to ensure our work is respectful, appropriate, safe and based in reality.
