Hong Kong-Australia Collaboration in Mental Health
In conjunction with the Victorian Government Department of Human Services, AAMH hosted a high level delegation of hospital administrators from Hong Kong in August, 2007. The delegation was led by Ms Margaret TAY, Chief Manager (Integrated Care Programme), Hong Kong Hospital Authority Head Office. The aim was to build an understanding of the Australian approach to community mental health service delivery and reflect on the implications for Hong Kong.
Following the delegation's visit, Dr Ruth Vine, Director, Mental Health Branch and Dr Margaret Grigg, Senior Nurse Advisor, Mental Health Branch, Victorian Government Department of Human Services, undertook a comprehensive review of Hong Kong's mental health services at the request of the Hospital Authority in December 2007.
