What // ACT Consumer Carer Caucus

The ACT Consumer Carer Caucus is a forum for mental health consumers and carers in the ACT to meet, share information, form partnerships and be involved in the development and implementation of mental health reform. The aims of the caucus:

• To utilise our lived experience and unique expertise in mental health to identify ways to bring about positive change within the mental health sector

• To be a respected, combined voice for mental health consumers and carers in the ACT speaking to government and community organisations

• To shape and influence the work of Mental Health Community Coalition ACT to ensure it reflects the views and needs of consumers and carers.

Caucus meets monthly on the first Friday of the month. For further information or to request to join the email list for Caucus meetings, please contact Dianna Smith on caucus@mhccact.org.au or call 02 6249 7756.
