Your Budget day reminder that 30 years on from Australia's first National Mental Health Plan, its share of total Government health spending is unchanged. Sure there's waste, inequity, disorganisation and an absence of accountability. But chronic underspending remains a feature.

Australia's mental health care system is underfunded, inaccessible and in crisis, according to professionals on the frontline. NSW Chair of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Angelo Virgona joins 10 News First | @RANZCP @angelo_virgona @NareldaJacobs10

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

Excellent to see this acknowledgment. Mental illness is the concept though which results in psychosocial disability. The #1 source of disability - hence funding of NDIS must shift to acknowledge this fact @billshortenmp @Mark_Butler_MP @LisaPaul_AO_PSM

[Chris Raine @ckraine]

I’m a big fan of @JEChalmers vision for the evolution of capitalism and wellbeing - especially for mental health. It was great to meet him and listen to an excellent interview from the CEO of @ConexusF, Colin Tate.

The TGA move in Oz on MDMA and psilocybin opens new therapeutic options - but only under very tight restrictions; ongoing close evaluation in reputable centres required; @BrainMind_Usyd @RANZCP @Mark_Butler_MP @Mental_Elf @wellcometrust @NIMHDirector @PatMcGorry @Adam_Guastella

Congratulations to Think Tank Member Professor @pat_dudgeon who has been appointed a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia for her significant service to Indigenous mental health, wellbeing and education. So well deserved! @cbpatsisp

[Ian Hickie @ian_hickie]

Great to hear a health minister seriously addressing the deficiencies of 1980s style Medicare, single practitioner, fee-for-service funding models; new models of care urgently required; @Mark_Butler_MP @stephenjduckett @amapresident @Emma4Dobell @PatMcGorry @LRussellWolpe

[Australians for Mental Health @au4mentalhealth]

While the circumstances are regrettable, it's good to see the Minister talk about the huge unmet demand that currently exists in Australia for psychology. The fact of the matter is there aren't enough psychologists and we're not training enough new ones.

@Mark_Butler_MP makes some telling points wrt access vs tenure @PatsKarvelas @RNBreakfast Extra 10 sessions don’t CURRENTLY target complexity. Need a new model for this. Such models exist & are shovel ready @orygen_aus & we DO have a MH crisis in young people which began b4 COVID

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

Ten psych sessions is not enough after the years we’ve had https://t.co/MR5Ho8xaoF while targeted use of extra 10 sessions makes sense, dramatic growth in MH care crucial via salaried team based care is more urgent esp for young people. @TCavenett plan also key @Mark_Butler_MP

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Access to mental health support and treatment is something that gets raised with me a lot. We have to ensure there is access for those who need it and we are also working to find & address the root causes of mental health issues.

Samoa and Tonga leave Warrington shaking after facing off ahead of this massive quarter-final clash.

This is unmissable.

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

With a 50% rise in mental illhealth in young people since 2007 and a post COVID surge esp in young women this is not the time to put the cue in the rack on MH reform. Lives and futures at stake yet huge return on investment here in contrast to other health and disability care

[RN Breakfast @RNBreakfast]

The number of people suffering from a mental health disorder is increasing.

But Labor's "wellbeing" budget unveiled last month offered little in the way of mental health funding, with advocates warning of serious consequences.
