"Supporting communities to flourish"

How CMW makes a difference

We recognise the important role that spiritual wellbeing plays for Muslim communities in achieving mental wellness – as a result, CMW will focus on creating more culturally-appropriate services and support to ensure this spiritual wellbeing is front-of mind

It acknowledges the importance of Ummah, or ‘community’ – this is its driving force and will ensure that its services are appropriate to all Muslim communities regardless of background or origin and moves away from just considering the individual to looking at the community that surrounds them

It is run by Muslims, for Muslims, and will therefore act as a bridge into communities which would otherwise not be open to providers of mental health and wellbeing services

Our Services

CMW’s services have been conceived and designed by the Muslim community, to respond to needs identified within that community. They seek to build understanding and capacity within community, as well as support key stakeholders serving the community to improve access, inclusion and delivery. The principle underpinning all of CMW’s services is about being respectful and inclusive of the broad range of backgrounds, cultural and religious identities of the Muslim community within Australia.

Publications and Advocacy

Based on research findings and a growing evidence base of what contributes to wellbeing in Muslim communities, CMW will advocate to local, state and federal government for more inclusive policies and greater investment in Muslim Mental health and wellbeing.

Eid Mubarak from the Centre for Muslim Wellbeing

Eid is a time of joy, gratitude, and connection. But we also know that people arrive at Eid carrying many different emotions.

For some, there is celebration.
For others, there may be exhaustion, grief, or quiet reflection.

Wherever you find yourself today, your feelings are valid.

Allah (swt) reminds us in the Qur’an:

“Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” (Qur’an 94:6)

This Eid, take a moment to check in with yourself and with someone in your life who may need a little care.

Small acts of compassion strengthen the wellbeing of our entire community.
May Allah grant our communities healing, ease, and peace.
Eid Mubarak. May Allah accept from us all. ... See MoreSee Less
