The diagram below shows the CMHL's governance and committee structures, established in 2020, to replace our establishment governance bodies.
NorthWestern Mental Health is the auspicing organisation for this initiative. The CMHL also works in collaboration with the Department of Health Victoria (DH).
- The CMHL Governance Leadership Committee (GLC) provides strategic advice and decision-making for CMHL operations.
- The Workforce Development (WFD) Committee includes representation from each AMHS and supports direct input from the Victorian mental health sector into CMHL operations.
- The Interprofessional Lifespan Capability and Curricula (ILCC) Committee has a specific learning and development focus and ensures essential representation and input from across all areas.
- The Live Learn Lead Collective (LLLC) is a group established to enable the Consumer and Family/Carer Lived Experience Workforces to inform and make a meaningful contribution to the work of the CMHL. More information will soon be available on the Peer Inside pages.
- The VMHILN is now part of the CMHL and is considered another group of industry and subject matter experts for CMHL.
Current AMHS membership of the GLC, WFD, and ILCC committees can be found below.
You will find the members, their role and service for each of the following four CMHL committees:
- Governance Leadership Committee
- Workforce Development Committee
- Interprofessional Lifespan Capability and Curricula Committee
