Australia is partnering with the Pasifika Medical Association (PMA) to deliver Ngalu Fānifo, a culturally driven pilot program designed to build capacity and capability of Pacific practitioners and communities in Tonga and Vanuatu, strengthen services across community, primary care and hospital settings, and support families to manage their own mental wellbeing. 

Australia’s partnership with CBM Australia seeks to enhance mental health and psychosocial services, empower individuals with psychosocial disabilities, and foster resilient communities in Fiji and the Philippines. The initiative is achieving its goals by promoting effective rights-based models of care to ensure access to quality mental health services. This includes addressing community inclusion by fostering acceptance and support for the recovery of persons with psychosocial disabilities.
