In the first five years of Australia's National Mental Health Strategy (including the National Mental Health Plan), there has already been a 55% increase in spending on community health services, and overall funding for mental health services has increased by 24%. However, the broadening of the Plan's objectives warrants further increases in mental health funding. The focus has been on people with psychotic disorders (who represent a minority of those with mental disorders); in the Second National Mental Health Plan, endorsed in July 1998, the focus is broadened to include depressive disorders, and promotion of mental well-being in the broader community is a key theme. These initiatives will require partnerships, particularly with primary care.
在澳大利亚《国家精神卫生战略》（包括《国家精神卫生计划》）实施的头五年里，社区卫生服务支出已增长了55%，精神卫生服务的总体资金增加了24%。然而，该计划目标的拓宽需要进一步增加精神卫生资金投入。此前重点关注的是患有精神障碍的少数群体——精神分裂症患者；在1998年7月批准的《第二届国家精神卫生计划》中，重点范围扩大至包括抑郁症，并且在更广泛社区中促进精神健康成为一个关键主题。这些举措将需要建立伙伴关系，尤其是与初级保健方面的合作。
