Mental health in Australia

Mental health in Australia involves state, private and community sector intervention in mental health issues. 20% of Australians experiences one or more mental health episodes in their lifetime. Australia runs on a mixed health care system, with both public and private health care. The public system includes a government run insurance scheme called Medicare, which aids mental health schemes. Each state within Australia has its own management plans for mental health treatment. However, the overarching system and spending remains the same.
