The 2022 Federal Budget misses the mark for people with severe and complex mental illness

Media Release

The Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia (MIFA) is disappointed that people with severe and complex mental illness have been let down once again by the 2022 Federal Budget.

Whilst the investment of $658 million in mental health and suicide prevention is welcome, the Federal Budget does not allocate any new funding for services that will directly support people with severe and complex mental illness, some of our most vulnerable Australians.
