The latest report from the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission is out - and it doesn't make for good reading.

Suicide rates remain high, with no significant decrease since 2018.

Also, fatal drug overdoses rose by 88% between 2016 and 2023, and 16,000 fewer people accessed specialist mental health and addiction services in the 2023/23 financial year compared to 2020/21.

So are we actually making progress on improving our mental health system, and what does the government plan to do?

Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey joined Nick Mills to discuss the findings.
