Media release: We must stamp out stigma and discrimination if we are to improve our mental health

As polling day for the 2022 Federal Election draws near, Mental Health Australia is reminding the major parties, and all candidates, of the importance to address all forms of stigma and discrimination when it comes to the mental health and wellbeing of all Australians. Mental Health Australia’s CEO Dr Leanne Beagley says that policies and politics that have the potential to discriminate and create further stigmatising practices, also have the potential to impact the mental health of many Australians.
