The economics of unmet need in mental health conditions - Speaker: Steve Robson

After the tragic events at Bondi Junction this year, attention has turned to the care needed for Australians with severe chronic mental health conditions such as schizophrenia.  The Productivity Commission estimates that one in five of us experience a mental health problem each year, and dealing with this has a $70 billion effect on the economy annually. 

Despite this, a substantial number of Australians cannot access care for family members.  Steve Robson is leading a group looking at unmet need in severe chronic mental health problems: what it would cost, and what benefits – or otherwise – it would have for our economy. 

Join us at the Commonwealth club from 6pm to 8.30pm.

Canapes and drinks included.
