The Government's increased focus on digital technology to deliver support is vital, especially for those people living in rural and regional communities who do not have ready access to mental health services.
"We look forward to expanding the reach of peer to peer support services like the SANE Forums that harness the underutilised resource of people's lived experience of mental illness, across the community," says Heath.
As we embark on this period of major structural reform, we must ensure that people in need are supported while the reforms are implemented.
SANE stands committed to ensuring that all Australians affected by mental illness lead a better life.
