Youth Mental Health package: Health

When a young person with mental illness takes the crucial step of seeking help within the health system, it’s important that we deliver high quality and timely care. We are putting an additional $11.3 million into primary mental health care and ensuring that more young people will benefit.

We’re also going to set new wait-time targets for Child and Adolescence Mental Health Services so that waiting times are cut, and we’re going to improve post-discharge follow ups. We will also review Government-funded alcohol and drug education programmes to ensure they’re having a positive effect.
