Our Approach to Wellbeing

Our Approach to Wellbeing brings together people with lived and living experience, service providers, funders, and planners to improve mental health, alcohol and other drug (AOD), and wellbeing outcomes across our region. We work together across North Brisbane, Moreton Bay, and Norfolk Island to listen to our communities including people with lived and living experience to design thoughtfully and respond collectively. We are committed to ensuring mental health, AOD, and suicide prevention services are compassionate, responsive, and meet the diverse needs of every person.

Developed in collaboration with Brisbane North PHN and Metro North Health, Our Approach to Wellbeing was informed and co-designed by hundreds of voices from across the region. It is a flexible, evolving framework designed to support small quality improvements rather than follow a fixed set of actions.

Guided by shared principles and four key focus areas, Our Approach to Wellbeing helps us respond to real needs, drive practical change, strengthen system connections, and improve health equity across the region.
