Project Description
The Australian Government Department of Health has engaged a consortium comprising KPMG, ANU and the Centre for Health Economics at Monash University to develop an analytical simulation model capable of predicting the current and future impact of COVID-19 on rates of mental illness, mental wellbeing, suicide risk and suicide rates. The model will be a critical tool for governments in informing service and policy responses at both the national and regional level. It will be informed by the analysis of the best integrated data sets from across government.
