Changes to this service likely may result in increased longer term costs for other tax payer funded organisations - eg Health/hospital costs. The benefits of taking away this service seem minimal.

I was told it would take 3 years for me to get better and learn to control my borderline personality dissorder but thanks to timeout it only took me 1 year. when timeout decided i was well enought to do it on my own they said they would come back in if ever i needed them but the goverment as now stoped that from being possible i do not want to rely on mental health because it did not work for me. timeout is good because they dont remind you about your mental illness. So please give them back their funding cause if i slip again i cant get back up without them

This is an invaluable service to youth who are struggling to manage the most challenging delveopmental years in addition to their mental health problems.

Without this service these young people will fall through the ever increasing gaps being left by the culling in funding of essential community services required to offer a future to those most marginalised.
