We did it! SANE secures 3 year funding for forums and guided recovery

Hi SANE Community

It is my absolute pleasure and privilege to be able to share with you that SANE has successfully won sustainable funding to continue to deliver these forums and expand our guided recovery program to open to ALL postcode regions in Australia from 1 July.

I can’t even begin to describe the effort over the past four years that has gone into this and the enormous team effort behind the scenes, there have been times in the last four years where I have been genuinely worried about whether we would succeed and felt the huge weight of responsibility to you all to make sure your community would continue.

I am so, so thrilled to share that we did it - and this week Minister Mark Butler MP and Assistant Minister Emma McBride announced $27.3 million in funding to continue and expand nationally SANE’s digital mental health support for people and families with complex mental health needs.

I commend the Albanese Federal Government for investing in SANE’s continued delivery and expansion of digital mental health programs.

Thoroughly deserved. Thank you to everyone at SANE.⭐️

Hate to be a wet blanket, @RachSANECEO , but I just have to ask: Is this set in stone? Or could this potentially change, pending the results of this year's election?

@RachSANECEO this is excellent news, especially for those in the “missing” postcodes.
I’m sure it was a lot of hard work to achieve this, so thank you to all involved. A much needed boost for MH in Australia.
