What we do

The main focus of Network North Coalition is to ensure regional consistency in planning, based on what we consider to work best in achieving positive outcomes for people who use mental health services. The collective function is to improve mental health outcomes across the Northern region by improving the quality of mental health and addiction services through the following activities:

• Advising on planning and funding of mental health and addiction services
• Undertaking projects to improve services across the region
• Communicating with key stakeholder groups
• Advocating on behalf of mental health and addiction services

We meet regularly to better develop the provision and delivery of services across the northern region.  Further information on Network North can be found in the following documents:
