A win for psychology and our patients last night. As always, the devil is in the detail but our advocacy efforts are paying off. @AustPsych

After many years of APS advocacy, the Government will invest an additional $91 million in the psychology workforce. This investment will create an additional 500 psychology postgraduate placements, 500 one-year internships, and 2,000 supervisor training sessions across Australia

The government must stabilise and strengthen the psychology workforce following the release of shocking research by the Australian National University. Chronic workforce shortages and burnout combined with overwhelming demand is a recipe for disaster. ow.ly/LeBi50OaYio

38% of young Australians experience high psychological stress with the climate crisis a leading cause.
Our mental health system must meet the challenges we face.
We risk a lost generation if we don't.

Despite evidence continuing to mount that more investment in mental health is needed to prevent our young people turning into a lost generation, the federal government continues to pull support for mental healthcare @AustPsych

The APS is issuing a code red for mental health as climate disasters continue to impact Australians. Climate change, COVID-19 and other natural disasters are affecting many Australians, not only those on the frontline when a crisis hits. Read more: ow.ly/9ScK50MF8Qf

Just as people shouldn’t be asked to ration vital medicines like insulin,” said the Australian Psychological Society, “they shouldn’t have to ration mental health care.” @AustPsych

Great piece by @steph_dalzell. Reducing mental health treatment options isn't moving forward, it's leaving people behind. People not getting mental health treatment puts extra pressure on hospitals and first responders.
Thank you @AustPsych for leading this important campaign.

Cutting this service to all really is a dangerous experiment, and particularly when it's being replaced with nothing. We're only a few weeks into this new year and our patients are already telling us that they don't know what they're going to do.

Our profession has been on the frontline of an incredibly challenging time in our nation’s history, with the pandemic, natural disasters and a cost-of-living crisis affecting Australians like never before.

1 in 100 practices were unable to see new patients across Australia in 2019. This is now 1 in 3
Despite this the Federal Government is meeting just 35% of its psychology workforce target and many psychologists are burning out without support.

Young women worst off after Federal Government cuts subsidised psychology sessions to millions.
The government should accept the findings of their own independent report and reinstate this lifesaving program.
