“It is about support for health and mental health, at a time of most profound and understandable stress,” he said. “Telehealth is vital for mental health and for physical health.” An initial $74 million will be allocated for mental health support - including a campaign to boost awareness of the signs for when people should seek help.

FFS ever tried to call Centerlink even before the virus crisis? If you were lucky to get a line at all after 3 try's, you still had to wait up to 50minutes sometimes. This Tele thing has fail written all over it...

Australia with Morrison seem to be in denial , opening Hairdressers is crazy and no wage subsidy will send poverty numbers out of control which means homelessness will grow. Workers and business need wage subsidy to stop a massive &deep recession, Liberal Party are damaging Aust.

Biggest health crisis we’ve faced in 100 years and we are going to chuck more money at DV

What about all those that lost their job or can’t find a job and can’t get Centrelink online to register. We are doomed. The corrupt politician spent more monies on expanding the prison system than preparing for such a doomsday

The prime minister is great at announcing all this is assistance pity that in delivering these packages he is rubbish. Unless of course he is delivering it to his rich mates. Time to go Scomo!

Private health fund rate rises should be abolished or delayed due to COVID 19 issues Please

Throwing money at services that need it sounds like socialism!
