National Mental Health Service Planning Framework Support Project
Tender ID: 519078
Tender Details
Tender Description
The delivery of the support services for the National Mental Health Service Planning Framework (NMHSPF) and National Mental Health Service Planning Framework Planning Support Tool (NMHSPF-PST). The development of the NMHSPF began in 2011 and has been funded in partnership with the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care ("the Department") and jurisdictional health departments.
As outlined in the National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement, stakeholders are invested in continuing to enhance and maintain the NMHSPF to guide mental health service planning and resource allocation at the federal, jurisdictional and local (i.e. local health network and primary health network) levels in Australia.
The National Mental Health Service Planning Framework (NMHSPF) is a comprehensive model designed to help plan, coordinate, and resource mental health services to meet population demands. It is an evidence-based framework providing national average benchmarks for optimal service delivery across the full spectrum of mental health service in Australia.
The associated NMHSPF-Planning Support Tool (NMHSPF-PST) is an interactive data visualisation tool which allows users to estimate need and expected demand for mental health care and the level and mix of mental health services required for a given population. This procurement process is to manage the NMHSPF-PST training and licencing requirements, provide support and expert advice to users of the NMHSPF-PST and support the AIHW to maintain the NMHSPF and PST.
