Expression of interest: Regional Leadership Group

             

Northern Sydney Primary Health Network (NSPHN) and Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) are seeking representation from key stakeholders from the health, community and social sectors to participate as members of a Regional Leadership Group, helping to develop a strategic approach for the implementation of the Northern Sydney Joint Regional Plan for Mental Health, Suicide Prevention and Alcohol and Other Drugs (the Regional Plan).

The Regional Plan was developed by NSPHN and NSLHD following extensive consultation and collaboration with local stakeholders. The Regional Plan has been informed by local service providers, clinicians, people with a lived experience, carers, and community members to explore local issues and determine actions for inclusion within the Plan.

The purpose of the Regional Leadership Group is to support delivery of the actions outlined in the Regional Plan and enable key stakeholders from the health, community, social sectors and people/carers of people with a lived experience to develop a strategic approach to the planning and delivery of mental health and alcohol and other drug services for the region.

The Regional Leadership Group will be responsible for:

  • Oversight of the implementation and evaluation of the Regional Plan
  • Undertake regular reviews of the Regional Plan to ensure alignment with broader Commonwealth and NSW strategies and directions
  • Facilitating strong partnerships and effective communication between agencies and organisations within the Northern Sydney region to improve mental health, suicide prevention and alcohol and other drugs health outcomes
  • Establishing working groups reporting into the Regional Leadership Group for specific purposes or activity areas
