Abstract

The article presents a study which investigates the effectiveness of the Access to Allied Psychological Services (ATAPS) program in providing mental health services to native Australians from 2003 to 2013. Topics discussed include the use of the 2011 census data collected by the Australian government and the ATAPS dataset in the study, the use of statistical tools such as descriptive analysis and paired t-tests to evaluate the collected data and the study finding on indigenous client referral.
