• Eligibility: Support is available for individuals experiencing issues, their carers, family, friends, and professionals such as GPs, teachers, and employers.

• Recent Updates: In 2025, the Australian Government awarded a $9.2 million grant to fund a new single-session intervention model, expanding short-term support for those in distress or waiting for longer-term care.
