  • Psychiatry Attraction, Recruitment and Retention Needs Analysis Project
    31 August 2017 Mr Trevor Hunt Manager, Mental Health and Drugs Workforce Portfolio Strategy and Reform Department of Health and Human Services 50 Lonsdale Street MELBOURNE VIC 3000 Dear Mr Hunt Re: Final report to DHHS on the Victorian Psychiatry Workforce The Victorian Branch of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) wishes to present the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) with the report Psychiatry Attraction, Recruitment and Retention Needs Analysis Project. The DHHS approached the RANZCP in 2015 to undertake a project that would contribute to psychiatry workforce planning and development for Victoria’s public mental health sector. The project objectives, activities and deliverables were to: 1. Undertake a research and consultation exercise to identify factors and challenges influencing the psychiatry workforce. 2. Develop recommendations for future short-, medium- and long-term project work to address challenges faced by psychiatry in Victoria, with a particular focus on attraction, recruitment and retention to rural settings and to public mental health settings. 3. Produce a final report on methods, findings and proposals for possible future work that addresses attraction, recruitment and retention issues for psychiatry. The final report outlines the methods and findings from an extensive review of literature and data sources, together with more than 40 key informant interviews with psychiatrists working across Victoria. The report concludes that Victoria’s Approved Mental Health Services (AMHS) struggle to perform their role, with barely the capacity to care for Victorians during periods when they are severely mentally ill. Along with population and demographic changes over recent decades, public mental health services have experienced a reduction of funding in real terms to cope with these changes.

  • Evidencing Social Work Practice in Health and Mental Health: an International Collaboration
    Evidencing Social Work Practice in Health and Mental Health: An international collaboration project 2018-19 5.10.2018 Introduction Based on the previous audit undertaken in Victoria, Australia, a practice-research initiative is being undertaken collaboratively by the Universities of Helsinki and Melbourne in collaboration with HUS, the University of Tampere and TAYS, in conjunction with health and mental health service social workers in the two countries. We want to gain an evidence-informed global understanding of the current practices of social work practitioners in health and mental health services to contribute to debates about the future input and roles of social work in health. The collaboration will generate internationally relevant data and expand the size of the dataset to enable more robust and generalised findings. The study aims to describe amongst other key functions, patient/consumer-specific clinical interventions, non-specific patient/consumer attributable activities, non-clinical interventions, and theoretical approaches and models informing interventions by social workers. Health social workers believe that they make a positive difference to the lives of patients and their families. They feel they contribute to the health workforce in providing or ensuring good quality and effective care. Working with and challenging other professionals they see themselves as effectively contributing to patient well-being and improved economic outcomes for the health system. Social work has a long-standing, hundred-year history of engagement in health settings. Aim The aim of the study is to evidence current practice to quantify and clarify the contribution of health and mental social workers, as members of the health workforce, to improved outcomes for patients in the health service.
