The government is investing $175 million to improve our mental health system. These figures were contained in the most recent budget. Members opposite might be interested to know that the particular additional investment for Headspace will result in additional treatments for some 20,000 young people across the country. This is actually quite a large investment. Furthermore, I say to those opposite who are interjecting that the service provided by Headspace did not exist prior to the election of this government.
