Mental health is a key component of general health and well-being for all individuals. Mental health plays a significant role in each person’s ability to lead a fulfilling life. Covid-19 has impacted families, workplaces, and the community at large by amplifying the need to address gaps and inefficiencies in the existing healthcare system delivery of mental health and well-being services.

The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is distinctive as the Capital of Australia and home to a multicultural population rich in a diversity of cultures and languages. While there are many in the territory and surrounding region who enjoy a high quality of life, mental health challenges can affect residents and visitors regardless of age, gender, culture, or socioeconomic status.
