new federal mental health information website

On Thursday 20 September the Australian Government launched a comprehensive web site that provides up-to-date information on mental health and wellbeing, including information on the Government�s mental health programs.

The new site, www.mentalhealth.gov.au, claims to be a one-stop shop of all Government programs aimed at reforming and improving our mental health care system.

The Mental Health and Wellbeing web site provides important information on Government health and employment programmes, funding opportunities, publications, and policies. For example, it includes information and updates on the Personal Support Programme, JobAccess and Research and Evaluation of Mental Health and Employment.

The web site is the result of collaboration between the Departments of Health and Ageing; Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs; Education, Science and Training; Employment and Workplace Relations; and Veterans� Affairs.

The web site's content will continue to be the focus of development and expansion. The contributing departments have undertaken to regularly update and contribute to the content, and to conduct consultations to clarify audience needs.

What do you think of the website? Email us and let us know.
