A mental health package worth almost $50 million will in part fund data collection to help doctors identify those in most urgent need in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Australians who need mental health support because of the extra pressures of the coronavirus are also being encouraged to reach out for help sooner rather than later.
