A new report from Mental Health Coordinating Council finds the community mental health workforce is growing at pace, and demand for a larger and more skilled workforce is et to continue.
The Mental Health Workforce Profile: Community Managed Organisations Report 2021 launched in September 2021 collects much needed data on the people driving community managed mental health services.
The report shows the workforce in the community managed mental health sector is growing at 6.5% each year, outstripping other workforces in the mental health system.
By comparison, the total mental health nursing workforce is increasing by around 1.5% per year and the psychiatrist workforce at 1.9% per year.
These figures confirm the sector’s significant contribution to mental health services in New South Wales, with the sector accounting for just over one-quarter of the total mental health workforce in NSW.
