As the third anniversary of the final report of the Mental Health Royal Commission’s final report draws near (2 March 2024), we seek to draw your attention to a critical recommendation that is overdue in its implementation.
Recommendation 29 called for the establishment of a non-government agency led by people with lived experience of mental illness or psychological distress.

wellbeing and recovery; developing the consumer-led sector; nurturing and connecting consumer leaders; and partnering to lift the bar on lived experience involvement.
