Overview

The purpose of this scoping study was to identify gaps in mental health service delivery in the lower Gulf area of north Queensland, and to develop a model for provision of mental health care to fill these gaps. The project's methods involved identifying, analysing and collating findings from existing mental health service reviews and reports to paint a picture of mental health service delivery in the lower Gulf. (This lower Gulf area includes the communities of Mornington Island, Doomadgee, Normanton, Burketown and Bentinck Island.)
