The ACT Transcultural Sector is a community group made up of people who are interested in transcultural mental health issues. The sector is guided by the Transcultural Management Network who are a smaller group of key players across the government, community and cultural sectors. The main focus of the network and sector is to disseminate information, provide advice on policy and planning of services and support research. Some of the primary issues being addressed at this time include reducing the stigma of mental health, improving clinical service and preventing isolation. The Transcultural Mental Health Network provides advice to organisations and support for research on transcultural mental health issues.
