Plenary 1 – Mental Health, Private Health, Public Problem?
With one in six Australians receiving mental health prescriptions (a number likely to be further swelled by Covid lockdowns) mental health is a big health issue, a big policy issue and major challenge for insurers.
In this session we build on the Institute’s Mental Health Green Paper, delve into the industry’s current practices, discuss where the industry would like to be and the barriers that need to be overcome.

The falling participation rate is a big problem for insurers and for insurance affordability generally.
