The Spotlight on Capabilities series brings the sector together to focus on key capability areas that strengthen practice across Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing system. 

Each spotlight runs showcases real-world stories, tools, events and resources that help translate capability frameworks into everyday practice. Beyond the activation period, each spotlight becomes a lasting resource — a growing hub the workforce can return to for learning and inspiration. 

Why we’re doing it 

Workforce capability is the foundation of a safe, connected and compassionate mental health system. 

Through the Spotlight series, we aim to: 

  • Bring the Our Workforce, Our Future capability framework to life 
  • Celebrate examples of great practice and innovation 
  • Support cross-sector collaboration and learning 
  • Provide practical tools to strengthen workforce capability and culture
