The Victorian government announces the creation of a specialist women's mental health service after hearing stories of abuse and trauma.
The service will aim to address a key recommendation from Victoria's mental health royal commission to deliver 35 acute beds for public patients, in a private setting.
The service will be for women who identify as LGBTIQ+, those who have experienced trauma and sexual abuse, are struggling with eating disorders or perinatal mental illness.
