The NSW Mental Health Commission has partnered with the Mental Health Coordinating Council (MHCC) - the NSW peak group for community-managed organisations providing mental health support - to place a project officer to work at the Hunter NDIS site since July 2013.

The NSW NDIS and Mental Health Analysis Partnership Project was intended to provide early insights into operational aspects of the NDIS in relation to people with psychosocial disability, which is a frequent consequence of severe and persistent mental illness.
