More mental health support in the South

Chances are you or someone you love will be affected by mental health issues at some stage in life.

A re-elected Labor Government will make $1 billion-dollar investment to deliver more free mental health services across Australia.

That’s why Labor will open two free Medicare Mental Health Centre in the Southern Suburbs of Adelaide – located at the Marion region, and in the Onkaparinga region.

At Labor’s Medicare Mental Health Centres, you’re able to walk in and get help from highly qualified professionals — including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, mental health nurses and peer workers.

A re-elected Albanese Government will also deliver more Youth Specialist Care Centres for young people with complex needs, expanded headspace services and train more mental health professionals.

Whether you or your loved ones need short-term support during a difficult time, or more intensive care for an ongoing condition, Labor is making will make sure there’s more help available.

This is just one of the ways that Labor will strengthen Medicare for people in Southern Adelaide.

We’ll also deliver:

• The biggest ever investment in bulk billing, so people can see a GP for free.
• Even cheaper medicines, costing no more than $25 a script.
• More free Medicare Urgent Care clinics across the country.

Unlike Peter Dutton and the Liberals, Labor will always strengthen Medicare.
