We are the voice for quality, community-managed

mental health services in the ACT

Our purpose is to foster the capacity of ACT community managed mental health services to support people to live

a meaningful and dignified life

To support providers to deliver quality, sustainable, responsive, recovery-orientated services, we will:

be guided by lived experience and preserving human rights with honesty, integrity and accountability

contribute to access to a range of services and supports that allow people to live meaningful lives in the community of their choice
contribute to better knowledge and understanding of needs and issues
work towards sector reform.

To recognise and value the role of community-managed services in supporting people’s mental health and wellbeing, we will:

attract, retain and appropriately remunerate a skilled workforce
promote the sector’s work with lived-experience advocates, consumers and carers and community members who benefit from the community-managed services available.

To be a dynamic peak body with robust governance, financial sustainability, active membership and engaged staff, we will:
