The Australian Health Policy Collaboration (AHPC) – an innovative think tank at Victoria University, has launched its latest national report card, Australia’s Mental and Physical Health Tracker.
The Australia’s Mental and Physical Health Tracker national report card is the first Australian study to quantify the risks of physical health conditions associated with a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety and depression.
This national report card highlights the strong links between chronic physical ill health and mental ill health.
If you have either a physical or mental condition, you are much more likely to also have the other.
Poor mental health is a major risk factor for poor physical health, and vice versa
