The purpose of the profile is two-fold: to question the accuracy of some widely held beliefs about the Gold Coast which view it solely as a resort town and to attempt to determine whether the nature of urbanization on the Gold Coast is different. In order to illustrate in what ways the Gold Coast is similar to and different from other major cities in Australia, the profile examines its historical evolution, urban development, structure of development and urban form, population growth and demographic structure, and economic indicators. In doing this it compares the Gold Coast with the state and national averages, Australian capital cities, and the city of the Sunshine Coast which is the second major tourist settlement in the state of Queensland.

  • Commissioned Mental Health Services 2021
    Commissioned Mental Health Services 2021 A stepped care approach to mental health service provision in South Eastern NSW COORDINARE uses an integrated mental health and suicide prevention approach (‘stepped care’) to guide mental health activity. All regional mental health planning and commissioning of services is founded upon this approach. A stepped care approach to mental health service provision involves the following elements: 1. stratification of the population into different ‘needs groups’, ranging from whole of population needs for mental health promotion and prevention, through to those with severe, persistent and complex conditions 2. setting interventions for each group – this is necessary because not all needs require formal intervention 3. defining a comprehensive ‘menu’ of evidence-based services required to respond to the spectrum of need 4. matching service types to the treatment targets for each needs group and commissioning / delivering services accordingly. An individual is matched to the intervention level that most suits their need. They do not have to start at the lowest, least intensive level of intervention in order to access a different ‘step’. Rather, they have their service level aligned to their requirements at the time of entering the mental health system. The five steps in stepped care: You can find a map of COORDINARE’s region, South Eastern NSW, here. The Illawarra Shoalhaven covers local government areas (LGAs) 1–4.
