This is an online meeting held via Zoom.

VMIAC membership meetings are an avenue for members to:

• connect with our work, operations and governance;
• Share your aspirations and feedback on mental health services in Victoria; and
• learn more about recent developments in the sector.

The meeting will be broken up into two segments:

• General membership meeting (60 minutes)

Special Presentation: Mental Health and Wellbeing Act Implementation Support Project

Join VMIAC as the Policy and Advocacy team discusses the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act (2022) Implementation Support Project.

• Learn  what consumers across Victoria told us they need to know about the new Act during our consultation phase
• Hear the key insights from the Diverse Consumer Advisory Group (DCAG)
• Be updated on the resources being produced by this project
• Participate in a Q& A session with Kate Windmill from the Mental Health Legal Service
