The coalition government remains absolutely steadfast in its support for headspace as well as for youth mental health services more broadly.

During the election the government committed $20 million for an additional 10 headspace centres. This investment will bring the total number of headspace centres to 110 by 2019, with the aim of increasing service coverage, specifically in rural and regional areas. Again, it is something that I am very proud that this government has delivered. It will ensure that more young people can access youth-friendly mental health services when they need them.

The mental health reforms announced last year will make headspace services even more responsive to the needs of local communities.
