Fund Hope For Mental Health
|
Mental ill health is the biggest killer of Australians under 45. Of your closest friends, family and colleagues, about 1 in 5 will suffer mental ill health this year. But most of us will not discuss it or receive treatment. In order to help address this important issue, GetUp members made the largest healthcare reform in decades possible - we secured $2.2 billion for mental health reform. Stay tuned for more on this - in the meantime, you can click here to thank your MP or see what we achieved together! |
PAST ACTIONS FOR THIS CAMPAIGN
Ban Live Export
|
After a shocking Four Corners episode, hundreds of thousands of GetUp members came together to campaign against live export of cattle - and within days, Prime Minister Gillard announced an immediate suspension of live exports to Indonesia. A quarter of a million Australians contributed and signed our online petition to ban live export making it our largest and fastest growing petition ever! With the continuation of the live cattle trade, you can make sure all exporters sign on to a pledge ensuring no Australian cattle are exported to facilities that don't stun animals.
