Australia’s Mental and Physical Health Tracker is the first Australian study to quantify the risks of physical health conditions contributing to a wide range of mental health conditions including anxiety and depression.

Released by Professsor Allan Fels AO (AHPC Advisory Board member) on 7 August 2018, the latest national report card reveals the strong links between chronic physical ill health and mental ill health.

The national report card should be read in conjuction with the background paper for which it provides context and extends the data summarised in the Australia’s Mental and Physical Health Tracker report card.
