Ads call for Aussies to shape mental health reform

From 21 January, advertisements are appearing in newspapers across the country inviting Australians with a lived experience of mental illness to help shape national mental health reform.

Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Mark Butler, called on interested Australians to apply to become members of the Consumer Reference Group which will help set the directions of the National Mental Health Consumer Organisation.

"The new Consumer Reference Group will ensure the views of people living with mental illness are informing the establishment of the forthcoming National Mental Health Consumer Organisation," Mr Butler said.
