The intended outcomes of the Digital Mental Health Program are to: • provide service continuity for providers in 2021-22 pending Government decisions about future funding from 2022-23; • promote the mental health and well-being of the Australian community and, where possible, prevent the development of mental health problems and mental illness; • reduce the impact of mental health problems and mental illness, including the effects of stigma on individuals, families and the community; • promote recovery from mental health problems and mental illness; • ensure that all Australians with a mental illness can access effective and appropriate treatment and community support to enable them to participate fully in the community; and • assure the rights of people with mental health problems and mental illness and enable them to participate meaningfully in society. The objectives of the Digital Mental Health Program are to: • reduce prevalence of mental illness and suicide; • prevent and detect mental illness early; and • increase understanding of and improved attitudes towards mental health and illness resulting in changed behaviour.
