Parliamentary Briefs: National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement uncertainty

4 November 2026

Mental Health Australia has developed Briefs for parliamentarians outlining what is at stake for communities across the country with ongoing uncertainty around the next National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement. The Briefs outline what is funded under the current National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Agreement in each State and Territory.

Mental Health Australia has used these Briefs to urged Federal Members and Senators to raise the importance of securing the next Agreement to continue essential supports in their communities.

Mental Health Australia members are also invited to draw on these Briefs in your engagement with Federal, State and Territory governments to promote the importance of the next Agreement.
