A future Labor Government will expand services for young people with serious mental health issues, including the establishment of a Tier 3 facility with an integrated school in south-east Queensland.
The services will be based on the successful approach used to help young people overcome severe mental illness at the former Barrett Centre at Wacol for the past 20 years.
Labor’s rebuilding of adolescent mental health services will also include an expanded range of services in Townsville to service families in northern and regional Queensland.
