Upcoming 2025 Equally Well Conference in Adelaide
The 2025 Equally Well Conference will bring people together from across the mental health sector to share innovative projects and research focusing on the shared goal of improving the physical quality of life for people with a lived experience of mental health challenges.
About Equally Well:
Following the advice of stakeholders, the National Mental Health Commission established the Equally Well Implementation Committee, renamed the Equally Well Alliance, to implement and govern Equally Well in Australia. The committee is supported in its work by a team from Charles Sturt University.
The Equally Well Alliance is a collective of people representing consumers, carers, professional colleges, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations, Primary Health Networks, peak bodies, community managed organisations, private health providers and governments.
