Mental health services from state and federal governments are increasing, but despite this, one in two Australians will face mental ill-health at some point in their lives and 3,000 sadly end their lives each year.

Charitable giving to mental health organisations is increasing as community recognition of the need translates into funding in the space. Many charities operate in the sector, focusing on different areas, specific cohorts of individuals, and specialised approaches to intervention and support.

Produced especially for philanthropists, this APS Insights paper examines the mental health ecosystem in Australia at a high level and breaks down the not-for-profit approaches to address the issue.
