摘要

Over 400,000 Australians have an intellectual disability (ID) (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2009) and the majority of these individuals (57%) have a psychiatric disability or mental disorder (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2010). Compared to the general population, people with an ID experience very poor health, characterised by higher mortality (Bittles et al., 2002), and elevated rates of common mental disorders (Einfeld et al., 201 I; Smiley et al., 2007) including schizophrenia and the dementias. Serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia appear to have an earlier onset in people with an ID, pointing towards a specific developmental vulnerability to mental illness and the importance of timely access to psychiatric services for this group (Morgan et al., 2008). These statistics make people with an ID among the most important of minority groups for mental health service providers. However, current service provision to people with an ID in Australia lags behind internationally accepted practice. This has a substantial impact on families, carers and consumers, who report that mainstream mental health services do not readily accommodate their needs, and that in some instances these services exclude individuals on the basis of ID.
