Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has promised $1.5 billion for mental health if elected. According to the Coalition, the funds would go into mental health services, including 60 new youth mental health centres, 20 new Early Psychosis Prevention and Intervention Centres and 800 acute and sub-acute early intervention beds.
