According to theWorld Health Organization(Links to an external site.)(WHO), 'Health policy refers to decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals within a society. An explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future which in turn helps to establish targets and points of reference for the short and medium term. It outlines priorities and the expected roles of different stakeholders; and it builds consensus and informs people' (WHO, 2020, p 1).

Introduction
The Federal Government in Australia aims for providing equal access of the health care irrespective of the amount of money the people earn or the type of illness they are suffering from. The national approach in handling the health condition of the Australian includes equity in the accessibility and management in the expenditure. These two aspects concentrate on providing a high quality of health care to the people in Australia. There is a different kind of health care policies in terms of the public health programs, mental health policies, funding of the Australian hospitals, distribution of the health as well as aged care support and policies on health emergencies. The current study will evaluate the details of the mental health policies among the Australian.
Health Policy Selected 
The mental health strategy involves strategizing the policies and plans for the mental health of the Australians. The Australian Government has developed a 10-year strategy for the development of the mental health of the Australian and help in the identification of the challenges within the workforce contributing to the mental health in Australians (Government of South Australia, 2020). As a part of the mental health strategy, the Government has initiated a Fifth National Mental health plan, which had been developed by the Australian health Minister Advisory Council related to the Mental Health Drug and Alcohol Committee.
The main idea of the plan is the articulation of the priority areas, including the actions that need to be taken within the next five years so that an integrated mental health system can be built. This health plan has been published in the consultation draft in the year 2016 so that discussions and decisions were taken in terms of the integrated mental health as well as suicide prevention among the Australians (Meurk, Leung, Hall, Head & Whiteford, 2016).
The Australian Government has been committed to developing efficient and effective mental health plans so that the lives of the Australians can be improved from the risks of mental health challenges. In the year 2015, the Australian Government had launched a review programs so that the mental health services and programs for the Australians. The summary of the action that was taken up for improving the mental health of the patient and the review was published in the National Mental health website so that recommendations that are made by the Australian Government for the improvement of the mental health care can be viewed. 
Policy’s Vision and Short- and Medium-Term Targets
Mental health is the wellbeing and state of the individual, which is crucial for the individual to thrive within the community. This allows the people to work through different adversities, so that find meaning and purpose of their lives and help in meeting the needs of the people (Roberts, Lockett, Bagnall, Maylea & Hopwood, 2018). The mental illness and the concerns related to mental health plays a substantial impact in terms of the economic, social and personal level leading to the disability with the reduction in the productivity and quality of life.
The main vision of the Mental Health Policy and the health plan is to provide an opportunity for the Australians in building as well as re-shaping of the services. It is intended so that the people can access services easily and have a better mental health outcome in order to achieve that the Government has been investing on the service modelling in addition to the priority setting (Wilson, Hutchinson & Hurley, 2017). This allowed in developing a balance in between the inpatient resourcing and the community with the early intervention process. 
Further, with the intervention, the Australians were also provided with rehabilitation and acute services. The key priorities, which have emerged in developing the mental health policy, include modelling of services for the older population,
