A National Strategic Framework for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ Mental Health and Social and Emotional Well Being 2004-2009 is a five year plan to guide the work of the many agencies, both government and non-government, that work towards improving the mental health and social and emotional well being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Framework has been endorsed by Commonwealth and State/Territory Governments and represents agreement among a wide range of stakeholders on the broad strategies that need to be pursued. It thus provides a common ground and a basis for cooperation among responsible agencies, which include a range of Commonwealth portfolios, State Government agencies, local government, and non-government service providers.
