On 11 October 2011, the Premier announced in Parliament that the Queensland Government would establish a Queensland Mental Health Commission to drive improved performance, coordination and transparency in the delivery of mental health services in Queensland. On Monday 30 January 2012, Professor Beverley Raphael, chair of the Advisory Committee set up to advise Government on the establishment of the Commission, formally presented the Committees First Report to the Premier.
