Why funding isn’t fixing mental health support + RBA holds cash rate

A new report has revealed that thousands of Australians living with serious mental health conditions can’t get the lifesaving care and support they need because they don’t meet NDIS requirements. Experts say there are solutions, and it won’t cost any more, but an overhaul of the current funding system is needed. 

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Rielly Polascheck from the Grattan Institute, who unpacks the new research and the workable solutions. 

Headlines: The RBA has kept the official cash rate on hold, the United States will station more troops and military assets in Australia, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered the eulogy at the state funeral for Graham Richardson.
