Corporate Citizenship

delivering excellence, case by case

Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia (MIFA) works with people affected by severe and persistent mental illness, their families, friends and other networks to deliver effective, quality support. MIFA advocates for positive changes in all areas of social and public policy that impacts on the quality of life for those experiencing mental illness.

MIFA has adopted the following strategies to direct their important works:

  • Strategy 1. Advocate for a better quality of life for all people affected by severe and persistent mental illness.
  • Strategy 2. Influence public and professional policy and actively contribute to implementation and evaluation.
