Abstract

Most Australian children with mental health concerns don't get the right care at the right time. With COVID-19 this will only get worse. This project aims to improve access and engagement of existing services to address problems early, especially for disadvantaged families. We will co-develop and test a Child and Family eHub, overlaying existing systems with an easily accessible digital entry point to seek information, connect with services, and provide a care navigator for those most in need.
