The National Mental Health Commission (the Commission) is an Australian Government executive agency established in 2012 to provide robust policy advice and evidence on ways to improve Australia’s mental health and suicide prevention system, and to act as a catalyst for change to achieve those improvements through monitoring and reporting on investment in mental health and suicide prevention initiatives and ongoing engagement with stakeholders across the mental health and related sectors.[3] The Commission's role is purely advisory and does not advocate for specific individuals or groups, but for better system outcomes and accountability.[4]
The current Chair of the Commission is Lucinda Brogden AM, with Christine Morgan as the Chief Executive Officer. Lucy Brogden AM is supported by 11 other Commissioners, including Christine Morgan.[5]
