Key stakeholders in the Logan/Beaudesert region have reported a number of issues and challenges relating to the capacity and accessibility of mental health services for children and youth. Brisbane South PHN have engaged Beacon Strategies to scope a coordinated service response to meet the mental health needs of children and youth in the region.

Beacon Strategies in partnership with the Northern Territory PHN led a co-design process to redesign a NTPHN commissioned refugee health service model. In addition to targeted stakeholder engagement, Beacon Strategies identified a series of change management recommendations that aim to support the implementation of the service model.

As part of Brisbane North PHN’s effort to enhance the regional mental health health system, they engaged Beacon Strategies to undertake an engagement process with GPs in Brisbane North to better understand how to support GPs to deliver mental health services in the primary care setting. 

Northern Queensland PHN are partnering with Beacon Strategies to refine the NQPHN’s Suicide Prevention Community Action Plan. In order to do this Beacon Strategies will be collaborating with stakeholders through an extensive engagement process. The engagement findings informed refinement of the action plan, ensuring it aligns with current NQPHN requirements, Black Dog Institute’s Lifespan Model and the evolving primary mental health stepped care environment.

Beacon Strategies partnered with CQWBSCPHN to develop a regionally tailored cultural competency professional development package that will improve the cultural competence of the health workforce across each of its sub-regional areas.

Beacon Strategies are partnering with Brisbane South PHN to deliver on an action out of the joint Brisbane South PHN and Metro South Health Brisbane South Older People Health and Wellness Strategy 2019-2024. As part of this joint strategy, a capable workforce has been identified as an enabler to achieving the vision and objectives within the joint strategy.
