Mental health research and evaluation in multicultural Australia: Developing a culture of inclusion

This study examines: 

• What is known about the mental health of immigrant and refugee communities in Australia; 

• Whether Australian mental health research pays adequate attention to cultural and linguistic diversity (CALD) in the Australian population. 

• Whether national mental health data collections support evidence-informed mental health policy and practice and mental health reform in multicultural Australia. 

The recommendations, based on the main findings, aim to contribute to the development of a culture of inclusion in Australian mental health research.
