The National Mental Health Service Planning Framework (NMHSPF) is an evidence-based framework that provides national average benchmarks for optimal service delivery for mental health services in Australia. Application fo the NMHSPF requires a sound understanding of its structure, underlying assumptions and limitations. The University of Queensland was commissioned by the Australian Government Department of Health to design and deliver the NMHSPF training program. The training program was rolled out across the country in a series of workshops for mental health service planners working for state and territory health departments, Local Health Networks and Primary Health Networks. This final report provides a summary of the training and associated activities delivered.
