3) The ACT Government provides a wide range of funding and support for mental health services operated by non-government organisations across the ACT. The list and details of these services for 2021-22 are covered in the table below. The service types listed in the table match the descriptive categories defined by the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare for mental health community services.

The ACT Government also receives funding from the Commonwealth that it directly applies to fund non-government services in the community, such as the Youth Aware of Mental Health education program and the MindMap Youth Portal.
