    Monash Care

    The Mental Health and Wellbeing


    Strategy for Monash Doctors

    Creating an actively-caring work environment


    so no Monash Doctor struggles in silence

    The compelling case for action

    Key findings from the National Mental Health Survey of Doctors and Medical Students, conducted
    by beyondblue in 2013:
    Doctors reported substantially higher rates of psychological distress and attempted
    suicide compared to both the Australian population and other Australian professionals
    Young doctors and female doctors appeared to have higher levels of general and specific
    mental health problems and reported greater work stress
    The general work experience for Australian doctors is stressful and demanding
    Stigmatising attitudes regarding the performance of doctors with mental health conditions
    persist.
