FUND THE GAP. MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!
What We’re Doing
As the NDIS rolls out, the Victorian State Government is removing funding to state mental health services.
This will have a dramatic and devastating impact on the mental health sector. Despite the continuous meetings with the Victorian Government where members have had an opportunity to detail the massive issues and shortfalls of the NDIS for the workforce, the State is yet to act.
1300 Jobs that will be lost in Victoria and services will disappear for 90,000 Victorians.
The ASU is calling on the Andrews’ Government to immediately re-fund state-based Community Mental Health services!
Help us save community mental health in Victoria.

We've been holding meetings at councils across Victoria about the undfunding of local government. It’s affecting services communities rely on, from mobile libraries to road and other infrastructure maintenance. And it's affecting local government workers by holding down their wages and increasing the pressure at work as they are required to deliver more with fewer resources. It’s a crisis on the frontline. If you've got a story about the impact of underfunding local government, share it with us here: www.asuvictas.com.au/campaigns/crisis-on-the-frontline/
These pics are from a couple of great meetings we had at Frankston City Council last week.
Well when Councils deliver a project make sure it's 100% correct before the job starts..So there not wasting more rate payers money again having too fix the problems that was highlighted throught the community..🤔🤔
