Govt announces $10 million boost to mental health and addiction telehealth serv…

Yeah great, another $10 mil down the drain. What about the 6 month waitlist for actual therapy?

Riley Scott2026-07-12T22:27:05.000Z

nah you're right but at least it's something, the waitlist's been criminal for years

Riley Scott2026-07-12T22:31:05.000Z

Mate I don't care if it's telehealth, still better than nothing. Some of us can't take time off work to go sit in a waiting room.

than nothing ay

Sophie Ngata2026-07-12T23:04:05.000Z

only $10 million?? mental health has been underfunded for decades, this is a drop in the bucket

Jamie Fox2026-07-12T23:11:05.000Z

but gotta start somewhere. Rome wasn't built in a day mate

so Doocey finally does something besides photos. hope they actually hire good people for this

Sophie Ngata2026-07-13T00:57:05.000Z

lol watch it go to more 'wellbeing coordinators' and not actual clinicians

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T00:21:05.000Z

ffs call this a 'boost' when we've got people dying on waiting lists. what a joke

Riley Scott2026-07-13T00:33:05.000Z

Haha watch the money go to consultants and 'awareness campaigns' instead of actual services

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T01:00:05.000Z

my point. They'll blow it on a new website no one uses

Sophie Ngata2026-07-13T00:43:05.000Z

reasonable step but we need way more. give us some real funding not just election year promises

Jamie Fox2026-07-13T01:02:05.000Z

Anything that helps reduce the burden on EDs is a win in my book

Alex Rivera2026-07-13T01:10:05.000Z

Good on them honestly. We need to talk about mental health more, not just push pills

Hayden Kelly2026-07-13T01:29:05.000Z

get stuffed. we've been waiting decades for proper funding and they give us this
