The Mental Health Peer Workforce Development Plan for the Gold Coast 2015 – 2020 has been released by the Gold Coast Partners in Recovery Peer Workforce Reference Group that includes Gold Coast Primary Health Network, Gold Coast Health, FSG Australia, Aftercare, Mental Illness Fellowship Queensland, Headspace and the Consumer and Carer Workforce Group. Improving recruitment, retention and development are the overarching priorities to better support the mental health peer support workforce, following the release of the Mental Health Peer Workforce Development Plan for the Gold Coast 2015-2020.
Organisations who employ a peer support workforce in the mental health sector, are encouraged to download copies of the plan, and adapt for implementation in a move toward a stronger, supported and larger peer workforce on the Gold Coast.
