The Government's having another crack at mental health, allocating $36 million to suicide prevention. 

Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey's unveiled a five-year approach for addressing high suicide rates.  

The new Suicide Prevention Plan includes strengthening the workforce, targeting higher-risk populations, and improving community care.  

But Mental Health Foundation CEO Shaun Robinson told Mike Hosking they remain in a very resource-constrained environment. 

He says everyone will do their best with what's available from the Government, but a lot more is needed.
