Review of Commonwealth commissioned reports (2020-June 2025): themes and key findings relevant to targeted foundational supports for psychosocial disability.

Abstract

This paper synthesises the common themes that we considered in the design of the research-based Foundational Support model. These were extracted from relevant Commonwealth government commissioned reviews and reports, published from 2020 through to June 2025.They focus on the findings and recommendations from the perspective of government policies, rather than the academic literature and research sector or any critiques of these reports from the broader mental health advocacy and lived experience sectors.
