Australian Rotary Health is very excited to announce a new partnership with QBD Books for our Lift the Lid on Mental Illness campaign.

Together, we are bringing Lift the Lid to schools, encouraging each school to donate up to $1,000 towards mental health research.

For every $2 donation, each child will receive a $2 discount voucher off a selection of books at their local QBD bookstore. This way we can also encourage the joy of reading in our young ones!

“We are thrilled to partner with Australian Rotary Health to support young Australians and help Lift the Lid on Mental Illness,” said QBD Books CEO Nicholas Croydon.

“1 in 5 Aussies are affected by a mental illness every year, but it's not something we tend to talk about. These illnesses include anxiety, depression, eating disorders, dementia, schizophrenia and many more. This is why it's so important that we Lift the Lid on Mental Illness.”

Australian Rotary Health CEO Joy Gillett said this will be a wonderful opportunity to have youth involved in our Lift the Lid campaign.   

“Mental illness can begin in children as young as four years old, which is why we have chosen to focus on mental illness prevention and early intervention in the research that we fund,” Ms Gillett said.

“We are very much looking forward to working with QBD Books to spread the message of the importance of improving mental health, especially in children and adolescents.”
