“The minister greatly appreciates the services that have been offered through the community crisis intervention service,” the department said in a statement.
It added: “The work undertaken, and support provided through these services, have been of vital importance to those in the community who need it most and in supporting statutory services, in what remains a challenging environment.”
The department said the service had been funded for three years through the mental health support fund.
After that support expired in 2024, the department said, further non-recurrent funding was found to allow the service to continue to June of this year.
