How your donation helps

Ellen was inspired to fundraise when she found out about the prevalence of mental health issues. "Until I came across Women's Mental Health Australia I had no idea that 1 in 2 women were living with a mental illness."

Kellie has lived experience and is very connected to the cause. "Women's mental health is important to me because I'm a woman and I have a daughter. We both have mental health issues. It is still difficult for my daughter to access reliable, affordable, effective specific health care at all, let alone for mental health."
