Mental health crisis: the solution could be simpler than we think

The federal government is facing criticism for its decision to cut the number of Medicare subsidised mental health sessions under the Better Access scheme. During the Covid pandemic, the Morrison government doubled the number of psychology sessions available from ten to twenty. From next year, the number of appointments each patient can receive under the initiative will be slashed back down to ten.

In this episode, we speak to Mitch Wallis - a leader in the well-being space and co-founder of Calm Water Health, about Australia’s mental health treatment.

Headlines:

- QLD cops had “no chance” in deadly ambush
- Former WA police officer gets 30 years for sex crimes
- Brittany Higgins reaches settlement with Federal Government
- Golden night for our relay team at World Swimming Championships
