MENTAL health and wellbeing organisation Beyond Blue has called on the Federal Government to prioritise mental health and wellbeing in its new Measuring What Matters Statement and Australian Wellbeing Framework.
The framework aims to provide a holistic understanding of how Australians’ lives are progressing, beyond traditional economic indicators such as productivity and growth.
Beyond Blue has recommended that mental health indicators be included in the national framework to better measure overall wellbeing, as mental health is central to overall wellbeing and national prosperity.
