NOCC Collection

NOCC Collection

Within the mental health field, the regular assessment of consumer outcomes has been a priority initiative for some years. The Mental Health National Outcomes and Casemix Collection (NOCC), comprising a range of clinician and consumer rated measures, was first specified in August 2002 and implemented progressively by states and territories in the years that followed. This process followed a commitment by states and territories, under the Second National Mental Health Plan, to introduce the routine collection of outcome and casemix data in public mental health services.
