Introduction
Australia is a multicultural country where diversity is the primary essence of the culture
of the country. Population of this country belongs to different background, ethnicity, and race
and inclusive of indigenous, nonindigenous as well as immigrant populations (McGorry et al.,
2014). Therefore, the health related needs of people of this country properly reflects the
composition of its population and also reflects the issues faced the different stakeholders of
healthcare society (Xiang et al., 2012). As the range of mental illness affecting the Australian
population is increasing and including anxiety, depression, suicide, and schizophrenia, the
thought and view of people regarding mental health and associated challenges are changing.
Mental illness is a major issue in Australian continent as per the statistic collected from the
Australian bureau of statistics (2017) the rate of mentally ill patient in Australia was 20% within
which majority of them were not provided with appropriate mental healthcare so that their
critical care could be obtained (Meurk et al., 2016). The rate of mentally ill patient admitted in
acute healthcare facilities are increasing constantly as the mental healthcare facilities are unable
to provide acute and critical care to patients affected with mental illness (Xiang et al., 2012).
This issue creates a lack in healthcare system due to which healthcare system become
unable to provide care to both mentally ill patients or to acute care or critically ill patients.
Therefore, there should be service plan that should understand the need of changing or
decreasing the hospital beds for mentally ill patients from acute care and make the mental care
facilities appropriate for their critical health needs (Storm, M., & Edwards, 2014). This
assignment therefore, will provide the detailed analysis of three challenges of the mental

purpose, planning tools such as SWOT analysis will be carried out in the assignment. This paper
sets to understand and critically analyze the mental healthcare system and how a strategic plan of
how a reduction of admission to the hospice especially to the psychological department.
Challenges faced by mental healthcare facilities
As the Australian healthcare service is going through a healthcare reform, it requires the
crucial support from its employees to take part in the reform and management of the healthcare
system (Meurk et al., 2016). Further, it is their full scope of practice that helps in the
improvement and enhancement of the healthcare facilities for mentally ill people. However, in
the process, there are several challenges which is faced by the mental healthcare facilities due to
its accessibility and reach has been decreased (Barnett et al., 2012). These challenges also
increasing due to social, mental and economic aspect of the Australian society. Hence, analyzing
each these factors it could be stated that mental healthcare services are facing these issues due to
the lack of governmental funding, social stigma, and the state of play and lack of plan of care as
well as patient centered care for patients with mental illness (Meurk et al., 2016).
However these challenges which has been highlighted in the section could be fulfilled if
the government and healthcare facilities utilize appropriate plan for the identification and solving
of these challenges (McGorry et al., 2014). However, due to these challenges the aspects which
can change the aspects of mental healthcare’s effectiveness gets influenced and hampers the
quality of healthcare quality. Therefore, keeping this in mind, the healthcare challenges affecting
the mental healthcare system can be decided in two sections, economic, and social (Xiang et al.,

Challenge 1
The first challenge the mental healthcare is facing is the economic challenge due to which
the health café facilities as well as the patients have to suffer. There are evidences form
researches and governmental data that determined that mental healthcare facilities are not been
able to provide proper economic support so that they can deliver chronic healthcare facilities to
people who are presented with mental illness and is suffering from any acute healthcare situation
(Storm & Edwards, 2013). Though the mental healthcare policy determine that this is an
integrated part of the healthcare process but the funding process and the amount which is
provided to them is quite less than that of the other healthcare facilities in the country and hence,
the system suffers from quality and service related issues mentioned in the research of Giacco,
Matanov & Priebe (2013). Whiteford et al. (2013) mentions that if the mental healthcare
facilities are provided with similar funding and support to that of the public and private
healthcare facilities for acute healthcare facilities, they would have helped major number of
people affected with mental illness and then treated their acute health situation. As the healthcare
facilities treating acute healthcare have limited number of bed in which they can admit severely
ill or injured people, admitting a patient with mental illness in those facilities should affect the
care process. Hence, Scott et al. (2012) suggests that the mental healthcare facilities should
provide acute care to the patient who are primarily mentally ill and secondarily presented with
acute condition, who provide the opportunity to provide acuter care to other patient who is
critically ill and needs healthcare assistance of acute healthcare professional (Storm & Edwards,
2013). Therefore, the funding system has been named as a challenge to the mental healthcare

Objectives to overcome this challenge
The objectives to overcome these challenges will be according to the extent and efficacy
of the challenge to affect the healthcare facility. The goals decided to overcome this challenge
are:
The first thing which could be done to overcome the challenge is to be done by
the healthcare facilities by providing a detailed analysis of their healthcare facility
and their ability to deal with such critical or acute healthcare conditions. This will
help the government to understand the need of mental healthcare facilities in
making them efficient in caring for people with mental illness and acute health
condition and they will be able to provide governmental aid so that the condition
of the healthcare facility could be improved (Meurk et al., 2016).
The second intervention which will be used will be associated with the healthcare
professionals training and upgradation. It is an important aspect as providing
training and improving the skills of mental healthcare professionals will help the
patients to achieve acute care treatment in the mental healthcare organization.
Therefore, in this situation, training is an important aspect using which the issues
of mental healthcare could be resolved (Brian & Ben-Zeev, 2014).

Strength
The strength of this strategy will be that the governmental facilities will be able to know
about the need and lack in the mental healthcare facility of Australia and hence, they will be able
to change the policy in a way so that funding can be evenly distributed in the mental healthcare
facilities of Australia. Further, the objectives were feasible and as per the government policies,

acute care will not help them with acute healthcare strategist as they do not have those facilities,
making the process inefficient on helping people.
Opportunities
Government will be able to provide the mental healthcare facilities with opportunities so
that they can implement the new technologies and strategies in helping people with mental
illness and then help them to upgrade their ability in helping mentally ill patients with acute
healthcare interventions.

Challenge 2
There are a wide range of social challenges associated with mental health nursing
practices in Australia. Mental health patients are perceived in a stigmatized manner by the
society. This is primarily on account of the lack of awareness and competence to deal efficiently
with the mental health patients (Ashby et al., 2013). According to scientific evidences it has been
observed that a major proportion of the mental health patients are sent to the acute care
department (Dingle et al., 2013). This is primarily because of the lack of beds in the mental
health hospitals. The patients that are referred in the acute care unit are often perceived in a
stigmatized manner by the professionals who manage the acute care department. Further, it has
also been noted that on account of the stigmatized behaviour of the professionals, it has been
reported that the mental health patients often feel uncomfortable and hesitate to be treated in the
acute care department. In addition to the mentioned fact above, it has also been seen that the
nursing professionals in charge of taking care of the mentally ill patients are unable to deliver
quality care. The professionals often fail to engage with the clients in a positive therapeutic
relationship and this leads to the cause of inconvenience in the patients (WHO, 2014). Hence,
with respect to the current scenario, it can be suggested that the mental health patients must be
taken care of with utmost care and sensitivity. It can also be said that instead of transferring the
serious patients to acute care, the health care system can be evolved in a manner that it is
facilitated with the provision of mental health care service. This would help in providing critical
care to the patients and at the same time would also help in delivering an effective form of
treatment. Further, it should also be noted that the mental health care department would be

and would also elevate the quality of the services offered. Further, it would also help in attaining
positive patient outcomes and increase the level of patient satisfaction. The patients would also
feel that they are under the care of competent professionals and this would help in addressing the
social stigmatized beliefs associated with mental health patients adequately.
Objectives:
In order to combat the social issues associated with the problems of mental health it is
extremely important to proceed with well-defined objectives so as to adequately address the
stigmatized perception of the society. To address the issue the following two objectives have
been proposed in the paper along with the rational’
The first objective would include the renovation and improvement of the medical
infrastructure within the mental health department so as to provide quality services to the patients
The second objective would include the recruitment of trained professionals who are
trained in terms of cultural competence and have the ability to provide care in accordance to the
ethical guidelines.
The rationale behind the designed objectives can be explained in a two-fold manner. In
the first case, the first objective would help in dealing with the hospital bed crisis issue within the
acute care department. It is important to note here that saving a bed within the acute care would
help in getting a patient treated who has been diagnosed with a physical health disorder. Also,
