Our mental health and wellbeing are uniquely ours.

There are so many different tools and practices that we could introduce into our daily routines. What feels great for one person might not feel great for another. That’s why we want to encourage Australians to try a variety of wellbeing activities to find what works for them.

What does ‘good’ mental health look like?

Mental Health Australia

Good mental health is when we can cope with the stressors of our daily lives, participate in loving relationships, contribute to our community, and work towards our goals. Everyone has mental health. And we can all benefit from looking after our own mental health and the mental health of our communities.
