Not-for-profit organisation Beyondblue is hoping to raise awareness of these issues by putting information about symptoms, signs and help directly into the hands of people who need it.
The organisation has collaborated with technology company HITnet to develop three interactive videos as part of the "Keeping Strong" series.
The videos bring together urban, rural and individual perspectives of mental illness through storytelling.
Beyondblue CEO Kate Carnell said the partnership was about raising awareness of mental health issues.
"What Beyondblue is trying to do in this partnership with Hitnet is we're trying to increase the knowledge and awareness of depression and anxiety, the symptoms and what to do about it," she said.
