This project evaluated existing translated mental health information at the local and national level and identified gaps and deficits, then developed guidelines for relevant multilingual mental health resources in response to Western Australia's increasing multicultural population.

a list of available resources for use with CALD populations and where they are available from; protocols and guidelines by which the quality of resources can be judged; and a framework for identifying gaps and future resource needs.
