About us

We coordinate, amplify and deliver work that strengthens how the system learns, connects and improves.

This includes:

• research translation and knowledge sharing
• workforce development and capability building
• system-wide learning opportunities and communities of practice
• supporting the development and application of evidence-informed approaches

We focus on work that adds value at a system level, complements existing roles, and supports reform across Victoria.

We focus on work that adds value at a system level, complements existing roles, and supports reform across Victoria.

Across all of our work, we:

• collaborate rather than duplicate
• work alongside existing services, organisations and initiatives
• bring together research evidence, clinical wisdom and Lived and Living Experience
• support shared learning and continuous improvement
• prioritise equity, inclusion and human rights

We aim to create the conditions for a system that learns from itself, and from the people and communities it serves.

We are working towards a learning mental health and wellbeing system that continuously brings together evidence, practice and Lived and Living Experience to improve outcomes.

This means:

• knowledge is shared and used, not left on the shelf
• people can learn from each other across roles, disciplines and settings
• new approaches are tested, adapted and improved over time
• Lived and Living Experience shapes what is prioritised and how change happens

Our role is to support this learning across the system, so improvement is ongoing and collective.

Within our scope, we prioritise work that:

• delivers system-level benefit, not just local impact
• is grounded in Lived and Living Experience
• complements, rather than duplicates, existing work
• aligns with our strategic plan and Statement of Priorities
• reflects where the Collaborative Centre can add clear value

This helps us stay focused, transparent and accountable in a complex and evolving system.
