Take Action

It is the states and territories who will fund and implement this mass mental health screening of Australian children under 5 years old.

Help prevent the implementation of mental health screening of very young children in Queensland.

Brisbane RiverPhone, email, write or visit your Premier, Health Minister and local Member of Parliament and:

1 Advise them that while there is no doubt some children do need help, mental health screening of under 5 year olds is not based on science, will put more children at risk of potentially dangerous psychiatric drugs and request they do not support funding or implementation of the screening in Queensland.

2 Advise them of the proposed “Head to Health kids mental health centers” for 0-12 year olds and request they do not support the establishment of them or provide any local state funding for them.

3 Ask them to take action to ensure existing funding in Queensland is re-directed to programs proven to help children and that don’t harm.
