Mental health matters. But in our community, it can feel like we are in a mental health desert.
Labor’s failure to invest in the Lilydale Youth Hub has left local youth with limited options for local support.
Mental health is an issue close to my heart, which is why I put my hand up to be Co-Chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Youth Mental Health.
I’ve spent the past three years hearing firsthand from health and mental health professionals across the nation, and I know Australians are in need of improved access to support services.
The Coalition will improve access to mental health support for all Australians by doubling Medicare-subsidised mental health sessions from 10 to 20.
I will continue advocating for increased access to mental health support that is close to home.
