Our Knowledge
Research and Education
The Research and Education arm focuses on gathering empirical research and literature related to multicultural mental health in Australia. Its primary goal is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and increase accessibility to findings and data. By doing so, it aims to support the more efficient utilisation of limited resources and enable funding to be more effectively directed towards enhancing mental health in multicultural communities.
