Chair Report

Michael Moon

Chair of the Board

I am delighted and humbled to be nominated as the Acting Board Chair of APMHA Healthcare Limited, in lieu of Keran Wicks, who resigned from the role after completing her 3 year term on the APMHA Board.

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Keran, on behalf of all from APMHA, for her stewardship and invaluable guidance as a Board member and then Board Chair.

As the Interim Board Chair for APMHA it is my pleasure to present the 2023-24 annual report. It has been another incredibly challenging year given the ever (and fast) evolving mental health landscape and I feel incredibly grateful for the unwavering dedication of our APMHA team.

The changing landscape demands us to be agile and nimble as an organisation; in how we deliver our services, manage our finances and collaborate with like minded organisations – it is our ability to confront and manage these challenges adeptly, and to effectively traverse this landscape, which makes APMHA such a unique organisation.

The APMHA Board have worked hard to support this process, focusing on the implementation of a 5 year strategic plan to  foster continued growth for the company, whilst ensuring APMHA remains relevant and visible in a competitive commissioning landscape. I would like to extend a huge thank you to our funders for continuing to put your trust and faith in us to deliver these essential mental health services.

Our ability to stringently and effectively manage our funding in this demanding landscape remains paramount to our success and, on behalf of the Board, I would like to recognise the diligence and hard work of our Finance Team, overseen by Charles and Zac. Our 2023-24 profit as will be outlined in our finance report – is another outstanding result for APMHA and further bolsters our already healthy cash reserve.

To our workforce, both clinical and non clinical: you are what make APMHA the unique organisation it is and, on behalf of the APMHA Board, I would like to extend a huge thank you to you all, acknowledging the demanding work you undertake, day in day out, to provide these vital services to our communities.

APMHA’s collaboration with local partners is critical to better understanding and meeting the needs of our local communities. We have forged these key partnership arrangements with like minded, client focused organisations to strengthen our ability to deliver services that are accessible, equitable, compassionate and of the highest quality. This year we have seen significant and exciting new partnering arrangements emerge and I would like to recognise the dedication and effort of our partners in making this happen and for choosing to collaborate with us.

The APMHA Executive team and Board of Directors play a vital role in the success of the company and have driven APMHA to another enormously successful year on so many fronts. I feel we have been gifted an enviable Executive and Board team who have worked tirelessly and diligently to ensure APMHA’s success and I extend a sincere thank you to each of them for their enormous contribution. And to Renee, the indefatigable and passionate CEO of APMHA, I express our gratitude and recognition for all you do to advance and evolve APMHA – thank you.

To all those who have taken the time to share their stories and experiences of mental health with APMHA: people with lived and living experience and their caregivers; we thank you for your dedication and commitment to strengthening, informing and shaping our mental health services – we would not exist without you.

We anticipate another challenging year ahead, where a focus on balancing business consolidation and company growth will be more essential than ever. I have no doubt APMHA has the right people to support continued innovative, high quality and compassionate service delivery.

We move into the year in an enviable position, and I foresee further stable company growth and the people of our organisation changing the landscape and pathways for clients to move forward in their lives, with better mental healthcare.

CEO Report

demo

Renee Hayden

Chief Executive Officer

I would firstly like to acknowledge the land in which I am writing my report today, the land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung, the traditional owners and extend this acknowledgement to all Traditional Custodians of the lands on which APMHA meet, work and visit across Australia and pay my respects to the Elders, past, present and emerging, as the holders of the memories, the traditions, the culture and the spiritual wellbeing of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

I would also like to humbly acknowledge all clients whom we walk beside and their lived experience, their carers and family. This extends also to our wonderful workforce whom many also have lived experience.

I always hope when I write my annual report, that I can confidently say that the need for mental health services is reducing. But alas, this is not the case. Referrals to our services continue to be extremely high.

The cost of living crisis, coupled with long term secure affordable housing drive significant mental health distress. Whilst services like ours continue to do what we can to respond, the sector is grossly underfunded and this continues to throw challenges to us all.

This 23-24 annual report compiled by our dedicated APMHA  Team will share with you our ongoing focus, service responsiveness and dedication to vulnerable communities.

Our unique stepped care approach, ensures clients receive services commensurate to need at any given time of their journey. Our clinicians are so dedicated and always step forward to support referred clients. We thank you for working with APMHA, you are our backbone, and we could not do what we do, without you.

This financial year, we have been extremely busy with many program changes. We have been challenged with the cessation of funding for our Head To Health hubs in Shepparton and Seymour – working closely with community and clients to ensure services continue throughout and beyond decommissioning.

We have provided rapid mental health workforce availability and deployment for the Bondi Incident Disaster in NSW. We have worked with our partners Wellways and GV Health in the establishment of the Greater Shepparton, Strathbogie & Moira Mental Health & Wellbeing Local. And we have rapidly developed our Older Minds PTS program in the Western region of NWMPHN.

I personally have been challenged this year losing three family members within 8 months. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my executive team and staff who stepped in and kept everything going, whilst I needed to focus on family.

From a financial perspective, we have received $6.5 million in funding this financial year and has again shown a healthy surplus to add to our cash reserves, which ensures APMHA is solvent and able to expend funds for innovation and expansion. We purchased a property in Shepparton, a home away from home, for all our outreaching and visiting workforce.

I would like to thank our wonderful Senior Financial Accountant and our FRAC committee for guidance and robust monitoring of our financial status throughout the year.

We successfully passed our reaccreditation under Quality Accreditation in June 2024, with AS/NZS ISO-9001 and NS&QHS – National Mental Health Standards with commendations. Thank you to our Quality and Compliance Manager who lives and breathes quality everyday for our organisation and ensures our standards are met, and reviewed with regular service improvements applied when identified.

We have had some Board movement this year, with three Board members Rodney Johnstone, Keran Wicks and Thai Ohtsuka all finishing their three year tenure. We thank them for their amazing advice, dedication and contribution through their time with APMHA.

We thank Dr. Michael Moon (GP) who has agreed to be Acting Board Chair as we update our constitution and then call for nominations to fill these vacancies.

Roslyn Stewart our Consumer Lead has worked tirelessly with the Relapse Prevention & Discharge Clinician, to develop the Wellness and Discharge Planning Toolkit and website. This program is now in a pilot implementation phase and we know it will be highly successful.

Finally – we would like to thank our funders, partners and dedicated national workforce. We are funded across 9 different program streams from 6 different funders. This has enabled APMHA to continue to achieve amazing outcomes. Our intake team have triaged 2,957 referrals and ensured allocation in a timely manner to the most appropriate, skills matched clinician and our National Workforce has provided  25262 clinical sessions to 2930 individuals living in Victoria and NSW.

Again, I extend my gratitude to all our wonderful staff and extended workforce who have been the backbone of all that we do and what we achieve – we could not do what we do without you.

Finally, I want to thank our Leadership Team, Executive Team and Board for steering APMHA so solidly and for your tireless efforts to ensure the Company remains robust, responsive and resilient.

General Manager Business Operations Report

Donal McGoldrick

General Manager Business Operations

When I take a moment to reflect on the year that’s been for APMHA, I’m always surprised by our level of achievement and success as a company – and this year is no different.

I remain proud to be part of an organisation that continues to ensure the most vulnerable clients in our community are provided with the highest quality of mental health service available in the areas we service. Knowing the continued substantial investment of time, money and effort by APMHA in this space feeds, some of our highlights that recognise this include:

  • APMHA successfully undertook full re-accreditation against the National Mental Health Standards and ISO-9001, with (again) no compliance issues or service improvement recommendations identified by our external auditor
  • Engagement of cyber security consultants, as part of a large cybersecurity project, to test our systems for vulnerabilities and enacting recommendations to enhance APMHA’s overall cyber security credentials
  • Ongoing investment in developing our fully licensed quality, credentialing, contracting and compliance system, Folio, driven by our ever industrious Manager, Quality & Compliance, Monique
  • Ongoing stringent oversight of funding, credentialing and contracts for all our programs.

We know this investment in quality translates to better outcomes on the ground for the consumers we are funded to support and I would like to thank our entire workforce for the important part they play in making this happen; never before have I worked in an environment where the saying The heart of every organisation is its people rings true.

And finally, I would like to recognise the work of Renee (CEO), who remains pivotal in helping to make APMHA a truly unique organisation and who has led us to another hugely successful year in all that we’ve done.

General Manager Service Delivery and Mental Health Reform Report

Sian Pritchard

General Manager Service Delivery and Mental Health Reform

My first annual report as GM for Service Delivery and MH reform.

What a year it has been. Since commencing in my role on 1st July last year APMHA have seen wonderful growth and development across service provision and staffing. We successfully partnered with Wellways and GV Health to secure the development of the new GSSM Wellbeing Local. This is an enormous project partnering with large agencies, developing new staffing models and seeing the fruits of our first 7 months of development eventuate to initial service delivery. A new service model aimed at improving access to support in the community for those people struggling with emotional distress. This includes those seeking support with addiction. A blended model with front facing staff having a lived experience of mental illness or addiction or having cared for someone with this. A warm and welcoming environment has been set up and clinical services have commenced alongside the peer staff team working in partnership to support those in need.

Our service delivery across Murray continued with us being able to offer both short term psychological interventions for those with mild to moderate mental illness and being able to provide greater care coordination and treatment to those with more severe mental illness. We faced challenges in the last quarter due to programme funding changes. However, our staff, as expected, worked tirelessly to ensure those who needed ongoing support were well linked if we were no longer able to continue. Our ability to support all ages sees the enormous talent within our staffing profile and I would like to thank our wonderful staff for the amazing work they do every day. Not only in supporting our community but being able to support each other is vital for a company to be able to grow and develop and our staff live and breathe this daily.

I find it hard to believe a year has already flown by and I feel enormously grateful for the exec team approaching me to join them last year. APMHA is a warm and wonderful work environment, and I feel supported every day which makes coming to work a pleasure. I look forward to the next 12 months as we continue our work with our communities to deliver care and treatment enabling people to lead rewarding lives.

General Manager Stepped Care Report

demo

Tung Le

General Manager, Stepped Care

As I take the time to pause and reflect on the year that has been, I often ask myself the question: are we the client focussed primary mental health service we strive to be?

I can safely say I believe APMHA continues to work with an unwavering purpose and focus to support vulnerable people with mental illness to reclaim well being and live a contributing life – and I am proud to be a part of the organization on this continued journey.  The challenges of working in this space remain: an increasing demand for our funded mental health services, a mental health landscape transitioning and changing and workforce recruitment headwinds, coupled with needing to remain accessible and equitable to clients in the communities, have never been more evident.

Critical to managing this is the role of APMHA’s Clinical Intake and Triage team. Often the ‘frontline’ of the organization, they are integral to APMHA ensuring the right clients receive the right support at the right time. Evaluating and assessing referral’s to make informed decisions, navigating appropriate referral pathways for clients and providing secondary consultation to numerous clients, referrers and stakeholders, are all daily tasks performed to the highest standards by the team. I would like to sincerely thank the Intake team and acknowledge all the hard work they have done and continue to do; I feel incredibly lucky to be working with such devoted people. Some of our vital work is captured with:

  • CESPHN: 883 referrals processed, 271 clients provided services to and 8,873 sessions delivered
  • Murray PHN: 1,442 referrals processed, 1,061 clients provided services to and 11,439 sessions delivered
  • SWSPHN:  143 referrals processed, 109 clients provided services to and 2,865 sessions delivered
  • NWMPHN: 482 referrals processed and 2,057 sessions delivered
  • EAP: 7 clients referred and 28 sessions.

This equates to:

  • 2,957 intake referrals processed
  • 2,930 clients allocated for ongoing care
  • 25,262 sessions delivered across different age cohorts and levels of care.

I am extremely proud of these numbers, knowing the hugely positive difference our work has made for those individuals referred to our service with mental health challenges. APMHA’s ability to respond to the community’s need in times of disasters and crises, such as in the immediate aftermath of the NSW Bondi incident, has been paramount in continuing to flourish in reputation as an agile, responsive, high quality primary mental health service provider.

APMHA’s strength is our people.  Our staff are committed, day in day out, to enhancing support for clients and their families and caregivers. We continue to work in strengthening local partnerships with key stakeholders as we endeavor to do more for the communities and individuals we are lucky enough to be funded to support. It is a privilege for me to be a part of this great team at APMHA

Consumer Lead Report

demo

Roslyn Stewart

Consumer Lead

I commenced working for APMHA as Consumer Lead in June 2023. It was APMHA’s person centred approach to counselling that drew me to the role and over the past year I have had the privilege as a lived experience advocate, to bring the consumer voice to all levels of the organisation.

Over many months I collaborated with the APMHA Relapse Prevention and Discharge Clinician, to co-design, co-produce and introduce The Relapse Prevention and Discharge Pilot Program into APMHA clinician practice. It was very satisfying to be able to draw on my extensive lived experience and journey to recovery to develop the program.  I believe it reinforces and enhances APMHA’s ethos that the person is the expert in their own life. With a focus on wellness, whilst acknowledging potential difficulties and addressing them, it steps clients towards their best future. After discharge, their toolkit booklet acts as a reinforcement of counselling as well as a guide to continue their path to wellness or assist them to recognise early if further support may be needed. I am proud what we have developed. It rings true, because it is what I would have wished for myself.

Reviewing APMHA policies and procedures with a consumer lens has served to reinforce my belief that at APMHA the client is at the centre of their treatment. I have also developed the Framework and Terms and Reference for the Consumer Voices Committee in readiness for its establishment in the near future. This committee, reflecting the diversity of APMHA’s clients, will provide a balanced lived experience view and will allow ongoing consumer input at all levels.

The partnering of APMHA in the GSSM MH&WB Local has given me the opportunity to participate in their Lived Experience Advisory Committee as well to sit on interview panels for appointment of APMHA funded staff. It has been exciting to have input in the establishment of this wonderful peer-led initiative, arising from the Victorian Royal Commission into Mental Health.

What a fantastic year it has been for me. Everyone at APMHA has embraced my lived experience. I feel accepted, respected and valued. Actually, I feel blessed. What more can one want than to be able to pursue their passion in an organisation which not only genuinely cares for their clients but also nurtures their staff.
