"Victorians are being invited to comment on a plan for a new approach to mental health in Victoria. Releasing the consultation paper summary, Because mental health matters: A new focus for mental health in Victoria, Mental Health Minister Lisa Neville said investing services in young people and an approach to treating mental illness based on prevention and early intervention would pay dividends in the longer term. Ms Neville said the community was invited to make submissions on the consultation paper, which would feed into the Mental Health Reform Strategy to be released later this year.“The Brumby Government is taking action to ensure Victorians have the best mental health system and the state’s mental health services will undergo significant reform over the next decade, to build on reforms announced in this week’s Brumby Government State Budget,” Ms Neville said."
