Our Brisbane South PHN mental health planning and commissioning is guided by a stepped care approach, ensuring individuals receive the right level of support based on their current needs. This model allows for flexible, person-centred care — with the ability to step up or down in intensity as required.

We commission services in response to the mental health priorities of the Brisbane South region, aiming to improve access, equity and outcomes for our diverse communities.
