Barrier Breakers Inc is committed to providing advocacy services to improve the quality of life of those unfortunate people who experience mental illness in our region.
The association is an incorporated entity and is a tax exempt Deductible Gift Recipient (Charity)
We are unashamedly advocates for change, who are dedicated to lobbying governments to increase their budget allocations to mental health and to improve the extent and delivery of mental health services in the Gippsland region.
The group consists of parents with family members suffering a mental illness, medical practitioners, consumers and other concerned citizens.
The association provides advocacy services to improve the quality of life of those people who experience mental illness in the Gippsland region.
This involves consultation with the consumers of mental health care services and representations, systemic advocacy for adequate treatment regimes including educational, employment and other development opportunities.
Our Mission
We believe that the delivery of appropriate services to the mentally ill in the Gippsland region is inadequate, and disadvantages those people most in need of treatment, care and support. Barrier Breakers is determined to facilitate an improvement in the services provided to those suffering from mental illness in the Gippsland region.
