Abstract:
The Health Ministers of all Australian States, Territories and the Commonwealth endorsed a National Mental Health Policy in April 1992. This Policy is intended to set a clear direction for the future development of mental health services within Australia. The Policy recognises the high prevalence of mental health problems and mental disorders in the Australian community and the impact of these on consumers, carers, families and society as a whole. It also clearly accepts the need to address the problems confronting the promotion of mental health and the provision of mental health services.
