Abstract
The Second National Mental Health Report was released in June 1995 and documents progress in the 1993-94 financial year in implementing the five-year National Mental Health Plan. Expenditure on mental health rose by 4.1% and on community mental health services by 9.2%. State and Territory funding for non-government mental health services rose by 18% and more resources for those with disability were made available to those with psychiatric disability. The number of occupied-bed-days in standalone psychiatric hospitals fell by 10%. While the report shows that Australia has moved generally in the agreed direction, considerable work remains to be done in this historically neglected area.
