Synopsis:

The health minister, Sussan Ley, will press for a coordinated national approach to mental health in what she describes as a “once-in-a-generation opportunity for serious reform”.

Ley released the findings of a review of mental health services on Thursday, parts of which had been leaked to the ABC on Tuesday.

The government wants to collaborate with the states and territories on delivering mental illness prevention and treatment services, and will push for consensus at Friday’s Council of Australian Government (Coag) meeting.
