Funding for mental health services to quadruple under NDIS

Tags:

Funding for mental health services will quadruple as the government prepares to transition service providers to the national disability insurance scheme (NDIS).

The federal government has set aside $1.8bn in the NDIS for mental health services. It currently spends $450m on community care programs, many of which will fall under the NDIS umbrella when the program is fully operational.
