The Mental Health Foundation is welcoming $100 million more over four years for mental health and addiction services, but says a major part of the government's plan is still missing.
$27 million is for community-based crisis services including home-based respite and community crisis teams to help get people out of hospitals.
$19 million is for specialist child and adolescent mental health and addictions services. Workforce development gets $10 million.
There's an extra $90m to expand Mana Ake, the school-based mental health programme that gives children the skills and support to deal with challenging things like bullying, grief and the separation of parents.
Sophia Graham from the Mental Health Foundation talks to Lisa Owen.
