Mind the gap: Shaping the mental health system for the people who need it most

Tasmania has the highest prevalence of people with mental health conditions in Australia.

Many of these people also face poverty, unstable housing and alcohol and drug use problems.

This report shows why many people with mental health conditions are struggling to access the supports they need from a system that is not designed for them.

Mind the gap calls on governments to address gaps in the mental health service system, with a focus on the experiences of our clients in Northern Tasmania.
