What’s next for social justice in the Victorian mental health system?

Can the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System delivered on its promise to “enable Victorians to experience their best mental health now and into the future”?

RMIT University’s Social and Global Studies Centre, in partnership with the VMIAC, the peak body for mental health consumers, and Tandem, the peak body for mental health carers, is hosting this World Social Justice Day event to examine whether the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System can achieve its stated aims.

Following the conclusion of the Royal Commission, consumers, carers and academics will debate and discuss the vital next steps for advocacy, activism, research, policy and practice.

Our esteemed speakers will explore the Royal Commission’s recommendations, highlight gaps and barriers to implementation, and identify areas where further work is required.

Will these recommendations fix our broken mental health system, or is this just the latest in a series of failed reform attempts? Is a socially just mental health system in our future?
