The Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government (BETA), in partnership with National Mental Health Commission, has conducted a national survey of mental health-related stigma and discrimination.
The survey is supporting the National Mental Health Commission to deliver a National Stigma and Discrimination Reduction Strategy. Based on the findings of the survey, it is estimated that over four million Australians experienced mental health-related stigma and discrimination in the previous year.
