About The Partners in Mind Initiative

The Partners in Mind Initiative strives to achieve change across the health continuum, both within and between public mental health services and general practice.

In 2006, General Practice Queensland, Queensland Health, the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing and other Mental Health Service Providers together developed the Queensland Framework for Primary Mental Health Care . The Partners in Mind Initiative involves the practical implementation of this Framework, with a focus on increasing the capacity of the private sector to meet consumer needs, better integrating public mental health services and general practice, and improving continuity of care.

Through the development of partnerships and integration of services, the PIM initiative strives to create a mental health system in which continuity of care is paramount and consumers are able to move seamlessly between services.
