Abstract
Unfortunately, despite nurses encountering people diagnosed with mental illness and experiencing significant mental health challenges, increased awareness is not reflected in the mental health component of undergraduate nursing programs. Since the introduction of comprehensive nursing education, mental health nursing has been severely under-represented in undergraduate programs in most Australian universities. The future of mental health service delivery, quality of care, and patient outcomes depends in no small part on these decisions.
