Better Access to Mental Health Care
Better Access to Mental Health Care
On 1 November 2006 the Government delivered a major part of the COAG mental health package with the introduction of important new Medicare items to provide better and more affordable mental health care.
These new Medicare services promote a team approach to mental health care, with general practitioners encouraged to work with psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and other allied mental health professionals to increase the availability of care.
