The purpose of this closed non-competitive grant opportunity is to raise awareness of perinatal mental health in Australia, and provide information and resources to support expecting and new parents, including fathers and second parents.
The National Perinatal Mental Health Check was announced as part of the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook 2019-20 (MYEFO) Budget Measure ‘Election Commitment – National Perinatal Mental Health Check’.
