Multicultural Mental Health Australia

Multicultural Mental Health Australia (MMHA) provides national leadership in building greater awareness of mental health and suicide prevention amongst Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.

Through unique partnerships with Australian mental health specialists, services, advocacy groups and tertiary institutions, MMHA actively promotes the mental health and wellbeing of Australia's diverse communities through a series of campaigns, projects and information fact sheets. MMHA also produces a series of resources and training for specialist and mainstream mental health professionals.

MMHA maintains strong connections with CALD consumers/carers through focus groups and by disseminating information on multicultural mental health, support services, stigma reduction and suicide prevention. Multicultural Mental Health Australia is funded under the National Mental Health Strategy and National Suicide Prevention Strategy by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
