service development and redesign across the ACT. It will be based on a comprehensive assessment of health service needs across the care continuum on a geographic basis and for priority population groups. It will consider the range of public health services provided by CHS, Calvary Public Hospital Bruce and other organisations in the community, inclusive of priorities for mental health services development and redesign. Key considerations of the planning process will be:

aligning services with need;

a focus on prevention;

improving integration of services; and

embracing technology.

The Office for Mental Health and Wellbeing is developing an Online Youth Navigation Portal that will consolidate mental health and wellbeing information for young people into one location. It is anticipated to have a triage function that will allow an individual to be supported (via individualised online and phone services) to access the right information and/or service. This will remove significant barriers experienced by young people, their family members or friends when seeking help for mental health concerns.

The online resources and triage function will provide a clear pathway to assist an individual to make an informed decision as to when to seek support online or in person or which service in the ACT is the most appropriate for their needs. The Online Youth Navigation Portal will be developed and designed between November 2019 and October 2020. The building and implementation of the approved design of the portal, and recruitment of relevant staff, will commence in October 2020, with an aim to launch in January 2021.
