Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a national focus and community leadership to increase the capacity of the broader Australian community to prevent depression and respond effectively.

We aim to build a society that understands and responds to the personal and social impact of depression, works actively to prevent it, and improves the quality of life for everyone affected.

Principles for action

  • Respect for human rights and dignity
  • Strong community involvement, understanding and support
  • A population health approach
  • Recognition of diversity and special needs
  • A co-ordinated and collaborative approach
  • An evidence-based approach
  • Sustainable action
