Statement of Priorities for Health and Mental Health Ministers Meeting

12 August 2024

Our joint Statement of Priorities, outlines priority actions and next steps for Australian, State and Territory Governments to implement immediately to improve access to mental health supports. 

This is the first national meeting of Health and Mental Health Ministers in years, and a crucial opportunity ahead of upcoming state and federal elections to develop bold reform that will make real change for people needing mental health support in Australia. 

Together with our member signatories, we’re calling on Australian, State and Territory Governments to come together to address the gap in mental health services between primary care and acute and emergency services.
