Slide 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

Slide 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. Slide 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. Slide Professionals List A vibrant network of health professionals that have experience dealing with CALD communities made available to the public to:

  • highlight our culturally responsive professionals

  • give the community options to choose appropriate therapists⁠

  • facilitate a network of culturally responsive practitioners

 Slide Support and Resources Our library of resources, videos and tools created by CMW and other useful links exploring wellbeing, mental ill health, Islam and mental health, spiritual tools and much more

Centre for Muslim Wellbeing (CMW) strongly supports voting yes to the upcoming national vote in enshrining an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice (The Voice) in the Australian Constitution.

In 2017, through the Uluru Statement from the Heart, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples asked Australians to walk with them toward a better future by enshrining The Voice in the Constitution. The Voice is a way for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to directly advise all levels of government about laws and policies that affect their lives.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have faced disparities in education, healthcare, employment, and other critical areas for decades. The Voice is a step toward addressing these disparities and promoting social equity. It’s about drawing a line on the poor outcomes from the long legacy of failed programs and broken policies and listening to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It represents a commitment to justice, respect, and collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the rest of the nation.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and Muslims have a shared history of respectful relations. We believe this vote can make a big difference by supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice, we contribute to the health, well-being, and prosperity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, which, in turn, benefits the broader Australian society.

The Voice referendum is a critical moment in our history. The outcome of the referendum will have significant implications for the future of every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.

This is a time to listen, a moment to show empathy.

CMW stands with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and strongly supports voting Yes.
