From the Treasurer: The Albanese Government has commissioned the Productivity Commission to review Australia’s mental health and suicide prevention system, aimed at improving care and support for Australians ahead of the National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement’s expiration in 2026.

Since taking office, the government has invested over $2.4 billion in mental health initiatives, including expanding access to Medicare Mental Health Centres and enhancing support services.

The review will involve consultations with various stakeholders and is expected to produce an interim report by October 2025.
