CoRTA-MH

The Co-design and Research Translation Alliance in Mental Health (CoRTA-MH) is a place-based consortium designed to enable research and its translation into policy and practice to improve outcomes for communities.

A workshop was convened on 3 March 2026, sponsored by the Queensland Mental Health Commission and hosted by Psychosis Australia and the Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia. The workshop brought together over 60 leaders and people with lived experience to collectively develop a strategy for action.

Views from diverse keynote presenters, a panel discussion, and facilitated table discussions with dedicated notetakers were incorporated into the resulting Roadmap and strategy for action. The draft strategy is available for download for consultation. Feedback can be provided by submitting comments here or by clicking the feedback button

The consortium is a partnership with service providers, policymakers, and researchers. Lived experience leadership is embedded in our governance structure to drive meaningful reform that meets the needs of the communities we serve.
