Murrumbidgee Regional Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Alcohol and Other Drugs Regional Plan

Achieving integrated regional planning and service delivery is the first priority area of The Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan. The Plan recognises that Primary Health Networks and Local Health Districts provide the core architecture to support integration at the regional level.

The Murrumbidgee Primary Health Network (MPHN) and Murrumbidgee Local Health District (MLHD) have committed to working with local stakeholders and community members including people with lived experience to develop and implement a Regional Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Alcohol and Other Drugs Plan (The Plan) for the Murrumbidgee region. The Plan will guide high quality decision-making ensuring that resources are targeted to best respond to local mental health, suicide prevention and alcohol and other drugs needs.
