Australians frequently experience natural disasters including bushfires, floods and cyclones. These events can have a significant impact on the mental health and wellbeing of community members. The APS has played a significant role in the response to recent natural disasters, and has developed a range of information and resources to assist psychologists, other health professionals and individuals in disaster-affected communities in the preparation and recovery processes.
