Clare House – relocation

Ms BURNET question to MINISTER for HEALTH, MENTAL HEALTH and WELLBEING, Mrs ARCHER

My question is from clinicians and staff who are HACSU members of Clare House. Minister, for over 40 years, the Child Youth Mental Health Services have provided children and young people with a therapeutic mental health environment filled with natural light, garden space and a welcoming atmosphere at Clare House - something money can't buy.

Why would Clare House be sold and relocated to an office building in the CBD with limited clinical spaces, no dedicated service parking, creating a functional and physical barrier for accessing the service?

What else has been given priority over young people's mental health?
