We are sharing the story we’ve created with you about transforming mental health care in Australia and creating research and translation practice that responds to the priorities of people most impacted.

Research goals in the co-designed ALIVE National Centre are developed from listening to the priorities of people most impacted and working with partners to address these through new ways of seeing and doing implementation and translation research. Our National Roadmap can be used by researchers, policy makers, service providers and advocacy bodies to read about what matters to people most impacted and how they see what needs to change. 

As a living, co-designed roadmap we develop and create the Centre’s integrated knowledge translation strategies, research activities and targets from co-created implementation actions. Pocket Maps and other visual designs provide an at a glance guide to the main Priority Topics with Consensus Statements and Implementation Pathways and we review progress in meeting priorities at our Annual Symposium which also provides an opportunity to understand localised priorities.   

The Phase 1 to 3 Consensus Statements have shaped the first stage of the Centre’s establishment and foundations.  The Phase 4 Consensus Statements are the first in the second stage of the Centre as our Pathways within the Roadmap continue to form. These pathways centre priority populations, equitable wellbeing and mental health systems transformation.

Future pathways of the ALIVE National Centre roadmap will establish the priorities and implementation actions of– young males and men’s health —  refugees and physical health care access —  young migrants and the justice system. You can find the priorities shared by people with lived-experience of mental ill-health and people who identify as a carer, family and kinship group member of someone living with mental ill-health in our priorities database here.
