The need for robust and comprehensive service mapping
The National Mental Health Commission (2014) emphasised the need for local planning of care for people with a lived experience of mental illness in Australia.
The WHO emphasised the need to identify local service numbers and locations and a solid understanding of what services are doing.
Our mapping solution
ConNetica working in partnership with Professor Luis Salvador-Carulla, (ANU and formerly Sydney Uni) has used DESDE, the only validated service mapping tool used in Australia to develop 10 comprehensive Integrated Service Atlases. We have mapped the availability of mental health services for 28% of Australia’s population and 40% of Australia’s land mass. Service maps can now be compared with overseas countries.
We have also mapped homelessness, chronic disease, alcohol and other drugs services across Australia.
MAPPING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

The findings provide evidence to inform service planning and the allocation of resources according to local community needs.
MAPPING CHRONIC DISEASES
Western New South Wales
