ACACIA: The ACT Consumer and Carer Mental Health Research Unit is co-hosting a research symposium with the Mental Health Community Coalition of the ACT. The symposium “Mental Health: Translating Research into New Practice” will be held on 5th April at the Australian National University, Canberra, ACT. We are currently calling for applications to present at the Symposium; presenting at the event will provide you the opportunity to share your knowledge, experience and expertise with like-minded professionals.

  • Mental health in marginalised populations,
  • Physical origins of mental illness,
