Funded Activity Summary
Mental-health intervention and non-urban detection screen project. If, as expected, there is a positive return-on-investment to employers for mental health screening and early intervention, employers will adopt these methodologies. This eases the burden on the public health system. Early intervention reduces hospitalisations and the psychiatric medications prescribed resulting in decreased MBS and PBS spending. Intervention for mental health decreases transitions into unemployment, sickness or disability benefit reducing the societal burden of mental health. Maintaining individuals in employment also increases tax revenue. Increase in employee's productivity serves to increase gross domestic product. The employees, their families, and community's quality of life will improve.Funded Activity Details
