13313 (2026). Ingrid Leary to the Minister for Mental Health: Where can homeless youth, experiencing acute mental health struggles, access inpatient care?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am advised that access to acute mental health inpatient services is determined by clinical assessment. People assessed as having acute mental health needs are prioritised for appropriate acute inpatient services as clinically required, including those experiencing homelessness.
