Leaders from across the health and community sectors gathered to celebrate the launch of the new Regional Mental Health and Suicide Prevention plan, marking an important milestone for mental health collaboration across South Western Sydney.
Developed in partnership between South Western Sydney Primary Health Network (SWSPHN) and South Western Sydney Local Health District (SWSLHD), the plan sets the direction for the next five years of coordinated action to support people experiencing mental health challenges and those at risk of suicide.
The launch event brought together representatives from primary care, hospital services, community organisations and people with lived experience to highlight the importance of working together to improve mental health outcomes across the region.
The plan outlines shared priorities focused on improving access to care, strengthening integration between services and ensuring community needs remain at the centre of planning and delivery.
It builds on the foundations of the previous Regional Mental Health and Suicide Prevention plan, which brought together primary care, hospital services and community organisations to strengthen coordination and improve outcomes for people across South Western Sydney.
The event also highlighted opportunities for continued collaboration across the health and community sectors, reinforcing a shared commitment to creating a more connected, responsive and person-centred mental health system for the region.
