Introduction
The mental health workplace statistics in the UK show similar findings to the
workplace in Australia. Studies depict that the United Kingdom is facing at work, significant
health challenges. According to statistics in the United Kingdom, 15% of the employees are
facing the problem of mental health. Comparing this to Australia 20% of the employees are
facing the mental problem (McKeown, & White, 2015). According to research reports in the
United Kingdom, a group of people (300,000) lose their jobs because of mental health
problems each year. Mental health cost 74 and 99 billion euros to the economy of the United
Kingdom per year. This is different in Australia; mental health cost is approximately $ 12
billion per year (Wykes, Haro, Belli, Arango, et al., 2015).In Australia and New Zealand, the
process of consultation shows inconsistency with nursing leadership structure implementation
and development; also, there is also inconsistency in standards of practice careers in the clinic
pathways and supervision of professions (McKeown, & White, 2015). Mental health research
of nurses has made advances towards organization in tertiary education thus providing
different programmes in Australia. Sponsoring and scope of practice for disciplines should be
capability bound, not bound by professional training. The mental health system has been
explained in many national reports and commissions as being fragmented, sophisticated and
not consumer friendly (Wykes, Haro, Belli, Arango, et al., 2015).
The significant implications in health organization are retention problems. The report
explains a range of strong workforce; this includes the leadership of nurses, the nursing
practitioners, knowledge and skill mix, research and recruitment, standards, pathways for
careers, professional supervision and retention (Wykes, Haro, Belli, Arango, et al., 2015).
The new system of providing mental health services within the community level away from

The new system of providing mental health services within the community level away from

mental health needs to develop a different strategy to share the skill mix pool across the

successful teamwork (Wykes, Haro, Belli, Arango, et al., 2015).
Discussion
In Australia, the mental health nurse is still devalued which is a different case in the
United Kingdom. The nurses are working in the mental health sector work across all the
stepped care health setting. They experience noteworthy barriers operating outside the
services of mental health that are state funded. The treatment of mental health problem that is
highly medicalized within the tertiary care settings echoes the scope of parts of nursing with
physical and medical care (Smith et al., 2014).
Mental illness continues to increase globally thus it is essential to increase the
number of nurses in Australia since their population is less compared to the number of nurses
in the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom has allocated enough funding to support mental
health care which has increased the number of professional mental health nurses in their
countries (McKeown, & White, 2015). In New Zealand, there is lack of uniformity in the
accessibility and of professions that are qualified (the mental health nurses supervisors or
specialist) unlike in Australia where there are procedures followed to ensure that declarations
are taken into place (Wepa, 2015). Additionally, the government in Australia and other
countries should do much in supporting the nurses in role preparation and the appropriate
establishment of nurse practitioners positions. Moreover, clinical training agencies should
account for new graduate and develop programmes for mental health nurses (Wepa, 2015).
