Examination of their sociopolitical situatedness, in Australia, allows adolescent mental health and adolescent mental health nursing to be understood within a broader context. This examination takes place through a review of: (i) epidemiology, (ii) health funding and services, (iii) training and education, (iv) research, and (v) nurse education. Implications arising from this review are presented. Questions are raised regarding the sociopolitical standing of adolescent mental health, and suggestions are made regarding future imperatives for adolescent mental health nursing.
