Project Reports and Sector Research

Community Mental Health Australia’s (CMHA) reports showcase the research, projects and initiatives that inform our advocacy, policy development and sector leadership. We commission independent research on behalf of the community mental health sector to strengthen understanding of mental health and wellbeing in Australia and support evidence-informed reform. Our reports also include work developed through CMHA supported programs and initiatives.

 

Produced in partnership with community members, lived experience leaders, service providers and research organisations, these publications explore issues affecting people, communities and the organisations that support them. They help address longstanding evidence gaps in the community mental health sector and build a stronger foundation for policy reform, investment and community-led change.
