Mental health is arguably one of the most critical and dynamic areas of public health across the world. It is an integral and essential component of health. The World Health Organisation states: ''Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.'' The Certificate IV in Mental Health equips graduates with the skills to work as part of a multi disciplinary team where the focus is to support their client's holistic health and an overall state of well-being.

There is a strong emphasis on working with diverse cultures and communities, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
