Multicultural Mental Health Australia

Multicultural Mental Health Australia (MMHA) provides national leadership in building greater awareness of mental health and suicide prevention amongst Australians from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Through unique partnerships with Australian mental health specialists, services advocacy groups and tertiary institutions, MMHA actively promotes the mental health and wellbeing of Australia's diverse communities through a series of campaigns, projects and information fact sheets. MMHA also produced a series of resources and training for specialist and mainstream mental health professionals. MMHA maintains strong connections with CALD consumers/carers through focus groups, and by disseminating information on multicultural mental health, support services, stigma reduction and suicide prevention. Multicultural Mental Health Australia is funded under the National Mental Health Strategy and National Suicide Prevention Strategy by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

AIDS Council of NSW (ACON)

ACON is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of our communities and while HIV/AIDS remains the greatest threat to the health of gay men, lesbians, bisexual and transgender communities there are a range of other health issues emering with increasing urgency. Suicide, alcohol and other drug misuse, and violence are among those disproportionately experienced by our communities and tackling these will also help reduce HIV infections. ACON provides a range of health promotion, support and allied services for our communities. We offer counselling, housing, home care and transport, enhanced care, treatments advice, information resources and access to our interactive Learning Centre. Our health promotion teams for HIV positive gay men and HIV positive women also provide support, information and groups for positive people, while our family support project provides services to families affected by HIV. We also provide social support services for gay and bisexual men and for lesbians and bisexual women in Sydney and in regional areas.
