Shaping change together – with lived experience and heart.
Stay up to date with the news, stories, and updates from Mind, including new resources, campaigns, and ways we're supporting mental health in our community.

Mind Australia is deeply disappointed by the direction of public debate about mental health and the way people experiencing mental health challenges are being portrayed in our national media. We stand alongside people with lived and living experience and are concerned that public commentary risks reinforcing stigma, fear and frustration by associating mental health challenges with violence.

Mind Australia and Goulburn Valley Health are pleased to announce the opening of the new Youth Prevention and Recovery Care (YPARC) service in Shepparton.

A new support group in Ballarat is giving men who care for someone experiencing mental health challenges an opportunity to connect, share their experiences, and talk openly about the challenges of caring for someone. The Male Carers Men's Circle was established through the Grampians Mental Health and Wellbeing Connect, with support from The Outback Mind Foundation and long-time men's circle facilitator Aaron Schultz.
Mind acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and we pay our respects to Elders past and present.
