1. Advise them that mental health screening will result in more very young children on psychiatric drugs and request that they do not support funding for the screening and do not support the writing of national guidelines for states and territories so they can add mental health screening onto existing physical health checks.
2. Ask them to take action to ensure existing funding including the $54.2 million allocated for up to 15 “Head to Health kids mental health clinics,” for 0-12 year olds is re-directed to programs proven to help children and that don’t harm.
3. Request they implement the recommendation from the Productivity Commission’s Mental Health Inquiry, to require that all mental health prescriptions include a clear and prominent statement saying that clinicians should have discussed possible side effects and proposed evidence based alternatives to psychiatric drugs prior to prescribing. Advise them this was recommended to “start now” in 2020, but has not.
4. Ask for an inquiry that actually fully investigates all psychiatric treatments including psychiatric drugs as the reason behind Australia’s failing mental health system.
