This document is not based on experiential evidence. It relies primarily on quantitative data from national surveys, government statistics, and administrative datasets (ABS, AIHW, HILDA survey, etc.). While it acknowledges the importance of lived experience perspectives, the report's findings are derived from statistical analysis rather than personal experiences or qualitative accounts.

This document is not primarily based on practice wisdom. It relies on statistical data and quantitative analysis rather than insights from practitioners' clinical experience. While it acknowledges the need to engage with "experts—including people with lived experience, carers, family and kin, governments and the sector," the current report emphasises empirical data over practitioner knowledge.

This document is heavily based on research and evaluation insights. It draws from major national studies (National Study of Mental Health and Wellbeing), systematic data collections, government surveys, and evaluation reports like the Better Access Initiative Evaluation. The framework uses "empirically-based" indicators from robust, nationally available research data sources.
