Policy on linking to other websites from www.mentalhealth.gov.au, the Australian Government Mental Health and Wellbeing website
The Australian Government Mental Health and Wellbeing website is only able to publish links to external commercial or non-government websites where the Australian Government has agreed formally to endorse, sponsor or fund the organisation.
