Health care for the mentally ill in Australia is faced with various challenges within individuals, families, communities and broader society. The current definition of health is a complete state of mental, physical and social well-being and not just the absence of disease, (WHO, 1948 as cited in Huber et al., 2011, p. 1; Bowler, 2008 as cited in Fitzpatrick, 2010, p. 61).
