A significant mental health gap remains between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and non-Indigenous Australians.

Almost 30 percent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people report a diagnosed mental health condition and ‘high’ or ‘very high’ levels of psychological distress, which is nearly three times that reported by non-Indigenous Australians.

SEMPHN commissions First People’s Health and Wellbeing to provide services that meet the health and wellbeing needs of Australia’s First Peoples by providing holistic, trauma-informed, culturally safe mental health services. This includes comprehensive care coordination and links with other Aboriginal and mainstream networks and services.
