Mental health affecting more Australians with disabilities

Australia’s mental health crisis continues to accelerate amongst growing unemployment and factors related to the pandemic.

This year, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported almost one in three Australians aged between 18 to 34 experience high or very high levels of psychological distress.

However, Australians with a disability are more vulnerable in mental health issues.
