National Support for Child and Youth Mental Health Program

This grant opportunity was initiated through the Australian Government Response to the National Mental Health Commission’s Review of Mental Health Programs and Services. The Review raised a number of issues around the delivery of child mental health programs and suggested particular benefit in bundling measures to provide more comprehensive, targeted, and integrated services and supports for this vulnerable population group. In response, the Australian Government announced it would work across portfolios to join up support for child mental health, commencing with the early years and going through to adolescence. This Grant Opportunity consists of 2 streams: • Stream 1: National Workforce Support in Child Mental Health initiative (National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health) • Stream 2: Mental Health in Education initiative (Be You). Stream 1: National Workforce Support in Child Mental Health initiative (National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health) This stream will provide funding of up to $32 million over four years for Emerging Minds to continue to deliver the National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2031. Stream 2: Mental Health in Education initiative (Be You) This stream will provide funding of up to $92 million over four years for Beyond Blue to continue to deliver Be You from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2031.
