After extensive consultation with organisations and individuals in the sector, Mental Health Victoria is proud to be releasing The First 100 Days: Mental health sector briefing to an incoming Victorian Government.
The briefing, formed by information gathered over September and October 2022, provides guidance for actions to be taken in the first 100 days of the new government term which will best ensure the successful rollout of mental health and wellbeing reform.
The briefing responds to concerns in the sector about the strategy underpinning steps already taken toward reform. Key concerns are the unsustainable pressure mainstream services have faced this year, structural questions about workforce development, disruptions affecting the system, the continued and unaddressed vulnerability of smaller services, and the continued and unsustainable reliance on emergency services.
With help from across the sector, MHV outlines concrete, evidence-based and sector-supported steps that can be taken in the first 100 days post-election.
Recommendations are separated into seven sectors:
- strategy
- spending
- support
- sustainability
- specialised services
- sequencing
- skills

Mental Health Victoria acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as traditional custodians of the land on which it operates. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging, and value the rich history, unbroken culture and ongoing connection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to country.
Mental Health Victoria acknowledge those people touched directly and indirectly by mental health vulnerabilities, trauma, suicide and neurodiversity, and their families, kin, friends and carers. We acknowledge the ongoing contribution of those people in the mental health sector.
Mental Health Victoria values diversity. We advocate for a safe and inclusive society for all people, regardless of their ethnicity, faith, disability, sexuality, or gender identity, and uphold these values in all we do.
