Position Statements
Psychosis Australia brings together researchers, clinicians, people with lived experience, families, and policymakers to shape a better future for psychosis research and care. One of the key ways we do this is through national symposium events.
Our symposiums create a shared space to:
Identify current challenges and gaps in psychosis research, treatment, and policy.
Amplify lived-experience voices, ensuring they guide national priorities.
Connect experts across sectors, encouraging collaboration and innovation.
Translate evidence into action, focusing on what will make the biggest difference in people’s lives.
Each symposium culminates in a Position Statement—a clear, consensus-driven document that outlines priorities, practical recommendations, and actions needed at a national level. These statements:
Reflect the combined expertise and lived insight of attendees
Provide direction for researchers, services, government, and the mental health workforce
Support meaningful policy reform and investment
Ensure accountability and momentum beyond the event
By hosting symposiums and producing Position Statements, Psychosis Australia strengthens leadership, drives national consistency, and accelerates progress toward better outcomes for people living with psychosis and those who support them.
