Strategic framework

Our Strategic framework outlines our vision, objectives, strategies, performance indicators and risk management environment.

View the Strategic Framework 2020-2024.

The outcomes we pursue are:

  • Queenslanders living with mental health difficulties, mental illness or problematic alcohol and other drug use are better supported to live purposeful lives
  • Mental health and wellbeing is a shared responsibility across all sections of government and community.

Our objectives are to achieve better outcomes for people living with mental health issues or substance misuse by:

  • reaching consensus on and making progress towards achieving system-wide reforms
  • maximising the collective impact of lived experience and professional expertise.

Strategic framework strategies

The strategies we implement reflect the functions of the Commission under the Act, and include:

  • Strategic planning

We are required to develop a whole of government strategic plan in consultation with consumers, families, carers, government and non-government stakeholders. The Commission’s role is to facilitate, support and report on implementation of the Queensland Mental Health, Drug and Alcohol Strategic Plan. Learn more >
