Reports on primary mental health care reform in Australia 1991-2001 and the involvement of general practioners as the key providers. Investigates the degree to which the vision of policy makers and key stakeholders for a more integrated and effective system had been achieved. Findings suggested there is a considerable mismatch between the policy vision and the implementation reality and that the current system falls short of providing the support and systemic changes necessary for GPs to provide effective mental health care
