Chronic Disease Surveillance System (CCDSS) for the national surveillance of mental illness.
It features the most recent CCDSS data available (fiscal year 2009/10), as well as trend data
spanning over a decade (1996/97 to 2009/10). It is also the first national report to include
children and adolescents under 15 years of age.
