Champion Communities Program
Our Champion Communities Program celebrates communities across Australia for their commitment to fostering a compassionate and caring culture through Mental Health First Aid training.

This program encourages local government areas (LGAs) to collaborate with local organisations, groups and individuals to empower and transform communities through mental health literacy and action.
