Mental Health Good Outcomes Awards
These awards publicly recognise outstanding individuals, groups and organisations. As 1 in 5 Australians experiences mental illness, this touches the lives of every family and community member.
Community members are encouraged to nominate consumers, carers, mental health employees, organisations and the media. The winners are announced at a gala breakfast during Mental Health Week.
