Queensland Mental Health Commission
The Queensland Mental Health Commission is responsible for driving reform of the mental health, alcohol and other drug and suicide prevention systems.
Our job is to encourage and facilitate change to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all Queenslanders, with a focus on promoting positive mental health and wellbeing, and preventing and reducing the impact of mental ill-health, alcohol and other drug-related harms and suicide.
It takes collective action at all levels and across many sectors to achieve reform and we work with government and non-government agencies, people with lived-living experience, families, carers and supporters throughout Queensland to engage, inform and inspire reform.
