Please add you voice to our campaign to increase the number of sessions funded under the Better Access Scheme for BPD
We have set up a petition on change.org requesting an increase in the number of Medicare funded psychologist appointment under the Better Access initiative to 40 visits for Borderline Personality Disorder and other complex mental illnesses

Would it benefit you to have more sessions with a therapist under your Mental Health Care Plan? The Foundation is advocating for an increase from 10 to 40 visits per year. To sign the petition, go to bit.ly/BPDvalidated

Increase Medicare-funded visits for BPD and other complex mental health conditions
It’s not 10 any way !! I’m on a mental health plan for 10 And still can’t afford the help !! It covers partial cost and any descent psychology is 160 plus an hour
Dear Family and Friends. Can I ask you to please make the time to consider signing this petition. Thanks in anticipation. Carmel
Definitely I’m going through this Difficult challenge now. I asked the Dr for more because I really need them & I know they can do it, apply for extra but he seemed like it was all too hard and told me to be grateful for what I had😩
Even just an extra 5 sessions would help
Shared again. Thank you for your amazing work.
This would be an incredible improvement! Signed and shared.
When are we going to take it further than just signing the petition? (Just curious) I am out of pocket $205 a week to see my therapist (the 10 are used up by March) it’s a real sacrifice when you have 2 teens to support as well.
YES! 100%
Can't sign it. The link leads to a pop up that asks me to share or chip in but I can't access the actual petition. Anyone else having this issue?
It's blatantly obvious an increase would be beneficial. Greg Hunt must be pretty thick if he needs a petition to realise that.
Signed and shared
YES is EXACTLY what we need

Human Personality undergoes continuous development and modification in response to maturation and environmental factors.
Contemporary research recognises that Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD)
changes across the life stages.
This conference will consider the prevention, diagnosis, early intervention
and treatments across life stages, with eminent speakers presenting on BPD from childhood, through adolescence and adulthood to older age. Three concurrent workshops have also been planned for the afternoon.

Why does it cost so much for medico legal report vs a normal report not requested for family court? This in itself should he discussed in these conferences. It affects mental health in itself. For alot of people these reports are the key factors in family law cases.
