The upcoming ACT Budget will provide greater support for Canberrans suffering with different levels of mental illness. This includes $22.8 million to establish 24-hour supported accommodation for people with complex mental health needs.

As our city grows, we are seeing increased demand for mental health services, from early intervention and prevention measures through to emergency and intensive support.
