Mental ill health is not a marginal issue in Australia. More than one in five adults experience a mental health challenge in any given year. This Labor government has invested $1.1 billion to expand free mental health services across the country. Asking for help takes courage. Finding that help should never be the hardest part. Our government is doing the long-term work to make mental health care easier to find, to access and to afford.
