My question is to the Minister for Health. The Australian Psychological Society, headspace and other experts say many Australians will need more than 10 mental health consultations to cope with the flow-on effects of COVID-19. To the government's credit it adopted Labor's suggestion to increase the cap on Medicare mental health services in response to this summer's bushfires. Will it do the same in relation to COVID-19?
