Mental Health Carers Voice has submitted a response to the ACT Government’s 2026–27 Budget consultation.
The Budget consultation is a key opportunity for community organisations and Canberrans to influence how government investment supports health, community wellbeing and social inclusion.
Our submission reflects the priorities and lived experience of mental health carers in the ACT and outlines where targeted investment is needed to strengthen support, improve system navigation and recognise carers as essential partners in mental health care.
We encourage you to read the full submission.
This report provides an analysis of the responses to the ACT Mental Health Carer Survey of 2021 – Driving the Bus but not on it, capturing data across themes such as access to services, feelings of discrimination and safety, and positive and negative experiences with individual services and the ACT mental health system as whole. The findings of the survey will be used to benchmark the impact of system change on carers over the years, while also highlighting carer experiences in future policy and advocacy work.
