Promoting the awareness, knowledge and understanding about complex mental health issues begins with reaching out and creating partnerships and starting conversations with those who have lived with the experience and their community.

More than thirty years on from deinstitutionalisation, Australians affected by complex mental health issues still experience unacceptably high levels of stigma and discrimination.While there are increased services for young people, adult Australians face major barriers in getting affordable access to the quality clinical and psychosocial support services that can support their recovery and enable them to lead a better life.These barriers also have a direct impact on those who support a family member, friend or colleague with a complex mental health issue – emotionally, socially and financially.This is unacceptable and we are committed to changing this reality for the five million Australians affected by complex mental health issues. This includes people who are currently living with a complex mental health issues, have an experience of complex trauma or are experiencing high levels of psychological distress, and a further four million who are family, friends or carers.
