Strengthening the Consumer and Carer Voice
Raise It Update
Raise It was launched in Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Inpatient Services in March 2026. This NSW Health and Clinical Excellence Commission initiative has focused on strengthening the consumer and carer voice through the amplification and simplification of consumer and carer escalation of care pathways. The Raise It resources have been designed to support consistent, person-centred practices and reinforce the importance of meaningful consumer and carer engagement in care. A fidelity audit is scheduled for June 2026 to evaluate implementation and identify opportunities for improvement, with further NSW Health audits planned to support ongoing quality assurance. This phased approach will ensure the initiative remains embedded in practice, driving continuous improvement and enhancing outcomes through stronger consumer and carer participation.
