As the national body we represent our members around the country with a consistent voice when dealing with government.
We are dedicated to ensuring that all Australians affected by mental illness receive adequate services and that policy and legislation address those needs. MIFA has made submissions to the Federal Government about a range of issues affecting people with a mental illness and their families.
MIFA also provides background information on government policies and advocacy tips.
We also publish the newsletter Engage; you can read recent and archived issues of Engage here as well as our annual reports.
