1 The New South Wales Institute of Psychiatry STRATEGIC PLAN

2 VISION A World class workforce for NSW and beyond that supports journeys of recovery and better mental health through partnerships across individuals, families, carers, practitioners and communities. MISSION Through quality education and training enable improvements to the mental health and wellbeing of people in NSW and beyond and the lives of those who work with them.

3 Welcome This plan sets out the strategic direction of the NSW Institute of Psychiatry (NSWIOP) for In setting its course for the future, NSWIOP is building on strong foundations, having played an important role in NSW mental health for 50 years. Since its establishment in 1964, NSWIOP has been a part of the professional development of hundreds of health practitioners. Members, staff and graduates of NSWIOP programs include world-leading mental health practitioners. This plan builds on the strength of NSWIOP s past success, and responds to our current context which includes policy directions for mental health reform, greater integration of mental health into the broader health sector, growing pressure on government to manage scarce resources and rapid advances in technology. Over the next two years, NSWIOP will integrate into the structure of the NSW Health and Education Training Institute (HETI). This creates great opportunities for NSWIOP to increase its partnership across the broader health sector. Providing high quality training, education and resources on mental health for all health sector workers will improve the services that are provided to consumers and enhance the ability of physical and mental health services to be provided holistically. NSWIOP continue to focus on training needs at a system-wide level and will partner with other education and training providers to provide NSW with the very best mental health education, training and resources. 3
