The National Anti-Racism Framework (the Framework), is a comprehensive, ten-year, whole-of-society roadmap designed to actively identify, challenge, and dismantle racism.
Developed through extensive consultation with First Nations and multicultural communities, the Framework includes 63 recommendations targeting key sectors, including health, education, the justice system, and workplaces.
The Framework recognises racism as a driver of poor mental health and a public health crisis. Research shows a direct link between racist experiences and high psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and increased suicide risk.

VTMH acknowledges it is located on the traditional lands of the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation. We know this land has history, custodians and stories spanning tens of thousands of years. We celebrate and recognise the First Peoples’ continuing connection to the land and water, and pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders, past, present and emerging.
In a spirit of reconciliation, we commit to walking the journey of learning and healing together.
