MIFA is a long-standing federation of seven community-managed mental health organisations formed in 1986. Our Members are located in numerous States and Territories around Australia.

They provide specialist, quality mental health and psychosocial disability supports to individuals, their carers and loved ones.

Our core strength is in amplifying the voice of people affected by severe mental illness, their families, and friends.

We advocate for positive changes in all areas of social and public policy that impact on the quality of life of people affected, as well as families and friends.

We create collaborative projects and communities of practice that support each other to be financially viable and deliver effective, quality supports.
