Mental Health Week 2023

Press Release

National CEO Tony Stevenson says the neglect of people with mental illness in Australia is on a huge scale highlighting that thousands and thousands of Australians are currently ending up in hospitals and
emergency departments because they simply don’t know where else to go.

“Governments appear to have no appetite to sort out these key issues. The funding for support to help people with severe mental or complex illnesses outside of the NDIS is completely inadequate, totally fragmented and inequitable.”
