A huge opportunity for the Mental Health Minister, to tackle youth mental health

A new report by the Auditor-General, has highlighted dire inadequacies in accessing services and information among 12-to-24-year-olds.

Minister Matt Doocey, is setting up an implementation plan with the relevant ministries, from the report's recommendations.

Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission chief executive, Karen Orsborn, says now's the time for him to give the role justice.

She says he's a huge opportunity for him to deliver tangible change -- as this is one of his priorities.
