MENTAL HEALTH INITIATIVE
499. Hon SUE ELLERY to the Minister for
Education:
I refer to the KidsMatter mental health initiative.
(1) Does the state contribute any
funds to this program centrally?
(2) If so, how
much, or is each participating school expected to pick up the costs from its
own budget?

I thank the member for some notice
of this question.
(1) No, it is a
commonwealth initiative. However, the Department of Education provides in-kind
support to KidsMatter .
(2) Previously
schools were provided an annual school grant by the department, which they may
have used for these types of initiatives. This funding is now incorporated into
the one-line budget under the new student-centred funding model and
participating schools have the flexibility to determine the right programs and
resources for their students and school community.
