FINAL UPDATE • 20 APRIL
Thank you for following the 3 Seeds Project journey.
We are the end of a very important step from South West Hospital and Health Services perspective.
We have been inspired by and built on the great work already done in existing local, regional and state strategies. We worked alongside people from South West to develop a rich picture of the ecosystem with whom we must collaborate, and the people who will make our future possible.
The project reached across the South West and offered a new way of listening, communicating and working together into the future. We tried to create safe-enough spaces and shared decision making with people closest to the challenges we face in our rural and remote contexts.
We were not as successful as we had hoped to be in engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people through community conversations, nor did we allow enough time to gather the three Aboriginal Controlled Community Health Organisations like CACH, CWAATSICH and Goondir. We hope that the 3 Seeds Project is seen as one of many steps we will take to create effective working relationships and move forward together as part of this roadmap.
The project also identified critical clinical and staff wellbeing risks requiring immediate priority.
The guiding star of our ten year journey will be the SWHHS MHAOD Framework for Integrated Services. We are confident that this framework will support our team to align its efforts and keep true to our philosophy, learning principles and the aspirations of the people we serve. SWHHS MHAOD team has already started making some decisions based on this new integrated framework.
Our roadmap outlines a case for investment in the wellbeing, learning and growth of people-that-care-for-people who contribute as a service and as part of community.
The interdependency of the actions included in the roadmap highlights the need to enable funding for SWHHS MHAOD team to include more than the existing clinical positions.
Attraction and retention of staff remains an enduring challenge in regional, rural and remote Australia, and we make a case that it is through the operational support and wellbeing of staff, relational and partnering expertise, and the support and capacity for learning and innovation, that we can create attractive, purposeful career opportunities.
This sets the foundations for a sustainable and collaborative future envisioned and articulated by consumers and carers in South West Queensland.

Co-design sessions online
The group gathered online this week to continue building a set of aspirations for the future of SWHHS. For a summary of these sessions see Co-design.
The co-design group resolved to regard the fifth meeting, not as the end — but as the beginning of a new consumer and carer partnership and to continue the 3 Seeds Community Conversations as part of the ongoing conversation across the South West.
14 & 15 FEB
Co-design sessions in Charleville
The group began by spending time getting to know each other and creating a safe a space for each others’ brave participation. After a catch up on the project so far, the group turned its gaze to the future and the experience each of them hope for.
For a summary of the sessions see Co-design.

v0.1 of the Theory of change
Developed by TACSI, SWHHS MHAOD Director and Clear Horizon
The Theory of change needs to focus on the MHAOD team (and not the whole health system in which they exist).The Theory of change needs to be visual and presented very much as a journey to bring people along and allow people to talk into itThe co-design group will focus on the experiences — the things we will see and hear — as we start to manifest better outcomes and conditions in mental health, alcohol and other drugs services for consumers, carers, clinicians and community in the South West.
