Episode Synopsis


A new AI navigation tool will provide a digital front door to mental health services, according to the Minister responsible. The government says a big barrier to accessing mental health services is not knowing what is available, where to go and who to talk to. The online tool using artificial intelligence will allow people to see what is on offer in their area and in some cases allow them to book directly. Minister for Mental Health, Matt Doocey spoke to Lisa Owen.
