AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER AND SONG WRITER
Melinda has her own lived experience of mental ill-health and is keen to share her story, particularly to rural communities. She has a strong connection to rural and remote communities after spending a lot of her life touring in them as a country music artist.
She’s hoping that by sharing her story it will help to reduce stigma around mental ill-health and encourage help seeking in rural communities. Melinda has been a RAMHP Ambassador since 2019.
