On Wednesday, 23 August 2023 our VTMH Manager, Adriana Mendoza, received an invitation from the Department of Health (DoH) to be a member of the Central Implementation Team (CIT) for the “Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Capability Framework: Our workforce, our future.” The Framework “defines the skills and attributes required of the Mental Health and Wellbeing workforce to meet the needs of consumers, family, carers and supporters across Victoria”.
The DoH Capability Framework project team have been working with the Centre for Evidence and Implementation to ensure that there is a strategy grounded in implementation science. Additionally, the Central Implementation Team concentrates on providing recommendations and perspectives for the implementation of the Framework.
VTMH values this opportunity to join the implementation group where enabling factors and structural barriers can be discussed/addressed in the context of the implementation of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Capability Framework.
