The Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission's released a report showing how funding from the 2019 Wellbeing Budget has been spent.  

It shows 92% of the $1.9 billion has been spent or committed.  

There's around $163 million that is unspent, and almost $62 million was set aside for capital works.  

Chief Executive Karen Orsborn says they know there's a high degree of public interest in the funding, so they wanted to make that information available.  

She says 57% —1.1-billion— went to health, and $800 million went to other government agencies. 

Orsborn told Kerre Woodham that they’ve heard from people who have been using the services, as well as those in the sector, that the money has made a real difference.
