2nd Australasian Mental Health Outcomes Conference

It is with great pleasure, that the organising committee extends an invitation to all to attend the 2nd Australasian Mental Health Outcomes Conference to be held at the Crown Promenade on the 24th to 26th November 2008. The conference will provide a significant opportunity for clinicians, service managers, consumers, carers and health department staff to gain a greater understanding of the use of routine outcome measurement to improve the quality of mental health service provision. The conference will explore innovative practices in clinical care and team management and the implementation of routine outcome measurement in Australia and New Zealand. We hope that you will be able to participate in what promises to be a stimulating learning experience.

About the NOCC Website

This site aims to support the implementation of routine consumer outcome measurement in Australia's public mental health sector. The purpose of outcomes measurement is to improve the quality of mental health services through better understanding and use of information about the outcomes for consumers of mental health services.

This site provides key resources on mental health outcomes and case complexity measurement and provides a forum for sharing ideas, views and experience. The site is intended to be used by clinicians, managers, consumers, carers, policymakers, researchers and all other interested stakeholders.

The first edition of the National Outcomes and Casemix Collection Standard Reports are currently available in the AMHOCN section of this website
