The report  highlights the profound effects of climate change on Australians’ mental health. It details how rising temperatures and extreme weather events, such as bushfires and floods, are directly linked to increased psychological distress, anxiety, depression, and suicide rates. Indirectly, climate change exacerbates mental health issues through factors like displacement, economic instability, and physical health challenges. Vulnerable groups, including Indigenous communities, rural residents, emergency service workers, and youth, face heightened risks. The report emphasizes the urgent need for substantial investment in mental health infrastructure, workforce capacity, and community-led resilience programs. It advocates for a rapid transition away from fossil fuels and the integration of mental health considerations into climate policies. Without decisive action, the mental health burden is expected to escalate, placing additional strain on already stretched healthcare resources.
