Commonwealth Psychosocial Support Program (CPS)

Overview

WQPHN continues with innovative community-focused commissioning under the CPS Program.

Community-based service facilitators throughout WQPHN promote outreach programs to increase community awareness of Psychosocial Disability services. They also provide service navigation for direct pathways to services and participate in local events held by community organisations. The aim of the program is to ensure that communities are aware of services to make more informed choices about their health needs and promote continual improvements in health outcomes.

A total of 949 community members across the WQPHN patch engaged with the Community Services Facilitators with a total of 710 people referred on to additional services.

WQPHN Psychosocial Support Connectors work across the Western Queensland region to provide referrals and information to holistic wrap-around services for people who are experiencing mental illness.
