About us
Mental Health Foundation Australia (MHFA) is an organisation made up of people from all walks of life. It includes professionals, those living with mental illness, families of those living with mental illness, organisations concerned with mental health and members of the public with an interest in mental health. Mental Health Foundation Australia is the oldest Mental Health Association in Australia. Founded in 1930 as the Victorian Council for Mental Hygiene, then later the Victorian Association for Mental Health, MHFA has been part of the national and international mental health movement for over 70 years. MHFA works to deepen understanding of the importance of mental wellbeing. Educating the community about available treatment options for mental illness is a large part of our brief, but our primary emphasis is on promoting good mental health and the means to maintain it. The Foundation’s work has been fundamental to changing community attitudes and raising awareness of the importance of good mental health. The primary aims of Mental Health Foundation Australia are: - To promote mental health and attitudes to mental health; - To establish collaboration with governments, individuals, and health related agencies, groups and organisations; - To make recommendations regarding mental health policy, implementation and services; - Encourage and initiate mental health research; - Encourage the highest standards in training and practice for the mental health professions; - To establish and support organisations which provide service, support and advice to the community; - To stimulate the development of informed public debate and opinion on mental health issues; - To work to remove stigma within the wider community associated with mental ill health. - To build bridges between those with mental illness and those without, to link our community together.

Today is R U OK? Day - a day that encourages meaningful connection with family, friends, peers, and the community and reminds us that a simple conversation can make a world of difference. This R U OK? Day, we asked our diverse and multicultural peers at the MHFA office how they check in with the people around them in their first language. Reach out, check in with those around you, and let them know they’re not alone. #RUOKDay #StartTheConversation #MHFA #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness
