ROYAL COMMISSION INTO VICTORIA’S MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM

The Victorian Government initiated a Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System in February 2019 with the aim of reporting on how Victoria’s mental health system can “most effectively prevent mental illness, and deliver treatment, care, and support so that those in the Victorian community can experience their best mental health, now and into the future”. The Victorian Government has committed to implementing all 65 recommendations made in the report which was published on 2 March 2021.

The final report of the Royal Commission recognised the centrality of “lived experience to the planning and delivery of mental health treatment, care, and support services” (Executive Summary p19). Lived Experience refers to the experience of seeking help directly for mental health challenges or being a family member by birth or choice, friend, or supporter of someone seeking assistance.
