Learning Outcomes

LETS WORK TOGETHER TO CHANGE THESE WORRYING STATISTICS.

28.8% of young people indicated high psychological distress and 23.5% felt lonely all or most of the time.

Almost 1 in 7 (14%) children and adolescents aged 4–17 years are estimated to have experienced a mental illness in the previous 12 months.

From 2015 to 2019, one third (32.4 per cent) of all First Nations Peoples child deaths occurred due to suicide.

The annual prevalence of mental ill health in 16 to 24-year-olds had surged from 26 per cent in 2007 to 39 per cent in 2020-21 — an unprecedented increase of 50 per cent in 15 years.
