  • To identify inconsistencies in how these disorders are treated and classified.
  • To highlight discriminatory practices affecting children with mental health conditions.

Main Methods:

    • A unified, Australia-wide framework for classifying childhood mental disorders as disabilities is essential.
    • Reforms are required to ensure consistency and equity in educational support.
    • Mental health diagnostic assessments must be simplified for disability qualification.
