Introduction
Recommendation 29 of the Royal Commission into Mental Health services in Victoria recommended establishing an
agency led by people with living/lived experience (the Agency).
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Division, Department of Health has funded VMIAC and SHARC to conduct the initial
two phases of establishing the Agency. The Department of Health is implementing the recommendations of the Royal
Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and AOD integrated framework and is helping set the foundations for
transformative change.
The Senior Project Officer will be required to work closely and collaboratively with the Project Lead Officer who will be
employed by SHARC. The work undertaken will be in alignment with an identified and agreed project plan and will reflect
the intent of the Royal Commission into elevating the voice and leadership for living and lived experience.
The Lead Partner in the project is identified as VMIAC, however the partnership is one of equal participation. VMIAC is
seeking to recruit a Senior Project Officer who will work with a SHARC Project Lead Officer, a SHARC consultant; and
a VMIAC consultant; and other partners identified for the agency formation steering group.
This project is founded on the principles of co-design and evidence base.
