The Health Ministers of all Australian States, Territories and the Commonwealth endorsed a National Mental Health Policy in April 1992. This Policy is intended to set a clear direction for the future development of mental health services within Australia. The Policy recognises the high prevalence of mental health problems and mental disorders in the Australian community and the impact of these on consumers, carers, families and society as a whole. It also clearly accepts the need to address the problems confronting the promotion of mental health and the provision of mental health services.
1992年4月，澳大利亚所有州、领地及联邦的卫生部长批准了一项国家心理健康政策。该政策旨在为澳大利亚心理健康服务的未来发展指明明确方向。该政策认识到澳大利亚社区中心理健康问题和精神障碍的高发病率，以及这些问题对消费者、护理人员、家庭和整个社会的影响。它还明确承认有必要解决在促进心理健康和提供心理健康服务方面所面临的问题。
