Improved mental health for all Australian’s

Leading cause of disability burden

Mental health disorders relate to behaviours and conditions which interfere with social functioning and capacity to negotiate daily life. In each year, approximately one in every five Australians will experience a mental illness.

Mental illnesses are the third leading cause of disability burden in Australia, accounting for an estimated 27% of the total years lost due to disability.
