Background and Problem:
Our current knowledge base appears insufficient to ascertain Victoria’s state-wide and regional capacity to respond to the mental health consequences of major natural disasters. While considerable advances have been made in relation to recent disaster responses, existing knowledge gaps and workforce shortages still risk undermining the resilience and efficiency of the Victorian response system, thus potentially delaying the delivery of vital mental health support services and leading to reactive approaches at building community and service provider capacity.
