CSC AND LIFELINE ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP AS NEED FOR MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT SPIKES
COMMONWEALTH SUPERANNUATION CORPORATION
Commonwealth Superannuation Corporation (CSC) and Lifeline Australia have partnered to strengthen support services for those living with mental health issues and to destigmatize the illness that an increasing number of Australians are experiencing.
According to Health Direct, 1 in every 5 Australians (about 4 million people) suffer from a mental illness in a year, and almost half the population (over 25 billion people) has suffered a mental disorder at some time in their life. Through this three-year partnership, CSC will actively promote Lifeline’s awareness, education, and support services, as well as providing funding to expand Lifeline’s 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services. Announcing the new partnership, CSC’s CEO, Damian Hill, referenced the spike in the number of CSC clients reporting mental ill-health issues over the past 12 months, and the need for suicide prevention services to meet the surge in demand.
WHY IT MATTERS: The number of Australians living with mental health issues is increasing exponentially and this collaboration will provide them with the necessary resources they may need. This partnership will provide awareness, education, and support services, such as 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.
