ACT Government funds new approach to workplace mental health
Source: ACT. Minister for Health. Media Release
"ACT Government has provided funding of $390,000 to beyondblue: the national depression initiative and The University of Melbourne to develop, implement and evaluate a new approach to workplace mental health promotion, ACT Minister for Health, Katy Gallagher, has announced. The rollout of the project will coincide with a call for expressions of interest to participate in the research. Ms Gallagher said it combined beyondblue’s National Workplace Program with a job stress intervention. This is a ground-breaking initiative as it combines both early intervention and workplace stress prevention approaches, she said."
