Position paper on the National Disability Strategy
The MHCC ACT welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the consultation paper on new the National Disability Strategy (NDS). As a peak body for mental health service providers, we approach the consultation paper with a lens on the inclusion of people with psychosocial disabilities and mental health issues in the Australian community. For that reason, MHCC ACT wants to encourage DSS to incorporate the relevant findings of the report of the Productivity Commission on mental health (once released) into the new NDS. The report addresses accessibility and inclusion of people with psychosocial disabilities in various domains of their lives.
