• Multicultural Mental Health Access Program, Board Member, former Chair, Inaugural Manager (1993-2002), McMHAP began in 1993 in response to concerns within the Vietnamese community about mental health issues which were not being addressed by the mental health services. A three-year innovative project grant was received under the National Mental Health Strategy. After that McMHAP attracted recurrent funding until 2003 for its work in increasing access for people of diverse ethnicities to mainstream mental health services in South Australia.
