Abstract

Anxiety disorders have become one of the most significant mental health issues for children in Australia. This paper examines the main factors associated with anxiety problems in primary school-aged children from three perspectives: family, school and society, and critically analyses the efforts of government and other organizations to prevent and treat anxiety in children, including related programs, services and policies. While some of these actions have shown positive results in reducing and preventing anxiety problems in children, more action needs to be developed, particularly national policies that target children themselves. In addition, the Australian government needs to pay more attention to marginalized groups of children, such as children with intellectual disabilities in the primary school age group.
