I call on the Australian Government @AlboMP @Mark_Butler_MP to make the 20 Medicare subsidised psychological therapy sessions a permanent change.
Act Now! #auspol #MentalHealthMatters

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Provision of mental health care should be like any other form of medical treatment; evidence-based, cost-effective and compassionate.

Cutting the number of Medicare-funded psychology sessions, as the govt has done this week, *fails* on every front. https://t.co/FI4L4EFya6

[Australian Greens @Greens]

Mental Health care should be free and people should be able to access as many appointments as they need.

We condemn Labor's decision to halve the appointments available under Medicare.

[Lydia Dean @lydiardean]

@Mark_Butler_MP Yes the Better Access program needs changes to make it equitable but theres no need to cut the additional 10 sessions while the changes are developed #auspol #20sessionsnow #MentalHealthMatters

[Lydia Dean @lydiardean]

Every Australian deserves access to affordable mental health care. Make the 20 psychological therapy sessions here to stay!

[Senator Jordon Steele-John @SenatorJordon]

Our community: I can't afford to see a mental health professional.

Labor's response: Let's cut from 20 to 10 the number of mental health sessions people can get for free. 😵‍💫

It's time to cover more mental healthcare in Medicare!! #auspol

'You are the future, but I would like to add to that that you are also the present.'

What a way to kick off #OYW2022!

As our co-found Kate Robertson said during the Opening Ceremony - it's not about what you do in the next three days. It's about what you get done after. 💥

This is so true, it’s happened time and time again to me. I am intelligent and I will Call Them Out when they are wrong.

I love that I have an Autistic Brain, BUT I hate that the world I live in results in me going into Autistic Burnout. We need to make society and places accessible to all. #ActuallyAutistic #autism #AutismAwareness #autisticburnout #Disability #DisabilityPrideMonth #accessibility

Making so many personal connections at #OYW2021 despite not being in Munich. Thanks to @OneYoungWorld and @Hubiloconnect for creating a great digital platform to be apart of the Munich Summit.

[One Young World @OneYoungWorld]

After a vibrant Opening Ceremony yesterday, here's a look back at the first full day of #OYW2021!

[Lydia Dean @lydiardean]

A great first day at #OYW2021. Some take aways ‘To act globally you have to start locally’, ‘Be Net-Positive’, ‘Find the love inside you’ and ‘NEVER GIVE UP’. I can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow from Perth Australia. Thanks @OneYoungWorld
