Every Australian family knows what it is like to love someone who is struggling with their mental health.
But right now too many Australians are not getting the care and treatment they need. Waitlists are out of control, essential access to services is out of reach, and too many treatments that we know can change lives are not getting the funds they need.
After years of reports, inquiries and well-meaning "awareness raising", the mental health crisis is getting worse not better.
We don’t accept it needs to be that way. But if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got.
That's why Australians for Mental Health is campaigning for lasting change: to reshape our country as a place where mental health and wellbeing thrives.
Australians for Mental Health brings together everyday people from all walks of life who understand that healthy minds make healthy communities and good lives.
And we understand that challenging the attitudes, systems and structures that are causing needless mental harm is only possible with people power.
Everyday people speaking up, being heard and putting mental health and wellbeing at the top of the national agenda.
