新南威尔士州政府发布了长期延迟的心理健康差距分析报告，但因对地区进行了匿名处理且未披露未满足需求水平，而遭到精神病学家和心理健康倡导者批评1。报告在周五下午在新州卫生部网站上发布1，显示该州心理社会支持需求未满足率在全澳排名第二1，且几乎没有任何澳洲精神卫生服务能够满足联邦规划框架估计的需求1。
报告指出政府进行匿名处理的原因是"确保不会产生任何地区提供较差服务的认知"1。然而地区卫生部门被匿名处理，未报告其未满足需求水平1。数据显示，北悉尼地区只有13%需要心理社会支持的人能够获得相关服务，远低于全州23%的平均水平1。
州长Rose Jackson称该报告是重要的第一步，并指出最新州预算中拨款33亿澳元用于主要基于社区的心理卫生服务1。10月1日NDIS变革即将生效，心理社会支持等服务预期将被削减或减少1。
The New South Wales government published a long-delayed analysis of mental health service gaps on Friday afternoon, but the report drew swift criticism from psychiatrists and mental health advocates for anonymizing regional health districts and withholding data on unmet service demand levels 1.
The report reveals that NSW ranks second across Australia in unmet psychosocial support needs, with virtually no mental health service in the country able to meet the demand estimated by the federal planning framework 1. In the Northern Sydney region, only 13 percent of people requiring psychosocial support were able to access it, falling well below the state average of 23 percent 1. The government justified the anonymization of regional health departments by stating it was necessary to "ensure there would be no perception that any region was providing poorer services" 1.
Premier Rose Jackson characterized the report as an important first step, noting that the latest state budget allocated AUD 3.3 billion toward primarily community-based mental health services 1. However, the timing of the report's release comes as NDIS reforms take effect on October 1, which are expected to result in reduced or diminished psychosocial support services 1.
