The National Mental Health Commission reiterates its support for the Mindframe National Media Initiative and its role in supporting the responsible reporting of mental illness and suicide in Australia.

Mindframe provides access to up-to-date, evidence-based information to support the reporting, portrayal and communication about suicide and mental illness. More information, including resources for the media can be found at: https://mindframe.org.au/industry-hubs/for-media

Late last year Mindframe also officially launched its very first app for media professionals. The app can be used both off and online and is available for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android devices.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Commission acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands throughout Australia.
We pay our respects to their clans, and to the elders, past present and emerging, and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea and community.

Diversity

The Commission is committed to embracing diversity and eliminating all forms of discrimination in the provision of health services. The Commission welcomes all people irrespective of ethnicity, lifestyle choice, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Lived Experience

We acknowledge the individual and collective contributions of those with a lived and living experience of mental ill-health and suicide, and those who love, have loved and care for them. Each person’s journey is unique and a valued contribution to Australia’s commitment to mental health suicide prevention systems reform.
