AIDMH promotes mental health awareness and services to multicultural communities Australia wide.
Breaking down barriers and stigma.
Unique to the Australian context is its cultural diversity, with more than half (51.1%) of Australia’s residents being born overseas or having parents who were born overseas (Australian Bureau of Statistics; ABS, 2022). This in turn requires mental health services to be responsive to the mental health needs of people from a multiplicity of cultural backgrounds.

Navigating the Mental Health System
Local community groups
AIDMH is a centralised point to showcase all the culturally responsive grassroots groups, projects and programs promoting mental health – specifically those being championed and developed by tireless diverse volunteers and advocates in multicultural communities.
Statewide services
Many states in Australia actively value the importance of engaging multicultural communities when looking to support their mental health and well-being. AIDMH aims to bring state-level awareness to various projects, initiatives, and campaigns targeting multicultural communities.
National services
Federal Government continues to support accessibility to quality mental health services and literacy for multicultural Australians. AIDMH aims to work with Federal Government and national organisations to connect their services and supports to multicultural communities in need.
Ultimately, AIDMH makes the invisible, visible.
By ensuring impactful initiatives and projects are known to multicultural communities and service systems alike, AIDMH aims to reduce the duplication of work and siloing, whilst fostering collaboration and better development of safe mental health and wellbeing services and supports.
