\nImportant health issues for men include infertility, coronary heart disease, prostate cancer, overweight and obesity, diabetes, bowel cancer, lung cancer, injuries, mental health and suicide.
\nHealth and medical research is one of the four pillars of the Government\u2019s Long-Term National Health Plan.
\nTragically, deaths by suicide in Australia occur among males at a rate three times greater than that for females.
\nThis is why we are providing $114.5 million for a trial of walk-in integrated Adult Community Mental Health Centres at eight locations nationally; and $11.5 million for the National Mental Health Workplace Initiative to assist businesses to create mentally health workplaces.
\nOur Government\u2019s strong economic management ensures the continued record investment into vital health initiatives.
