My question is to the Minister for Health and Aged Care. Almost half of young women aged 16 to 24 experienced mental health issues in the last financial year. With more than one-third of women under 35 being those who access the additional 10 Medicare subsidised Better Access psychology sessions provided under the previous coalition government, does the minister agree that axing those sessions disproportionately impacts young women?
