My constituency question is for the Minister for Mental Health, and my question relates to the minister’s recent announcement of $5.5 million in funding from the Andrews Labor government for mental health services and other services that treat people who are dependent on alcohol and other drugs.
This investment by the Labor government is very important in supporting Victoria’s community-based services to meet contemporary standards and improving treatment for some of Victoria’s most vulnerable people.
I ask the minister to inform me how community-based organisations in my electorate of Western Victoria Region can access this funding and what guidelines are in place for its allocation and usage.
