Save Tolosa Street

The government backed down and scrapped their plan to privatise Tolosa Street.

The Liberal government is moving to reduce mental health services and sell off the Tolosa Street Adult Mental Health Service and hand over its operations to private interests.

Time and again, we’ve seen that privatisation doesn’t deliver when it comes to essential public services. Mental health care should be focused on people, not profits, and it should never be treated as a business opportunity.

We’re calling on the Liberals to stop the sell off of our public health services and dump their plan to sell the Tolosa Street Adult Mental Health Service to a private operator.

Why is this important?

The Tolosa Street Adult Mental Health Service facility provides a crucial service to the community by assisting Tasmanians with mental health conditions to build independent living skills and focus on their recovery, employing a range of health professionals including respite support workers, nurses, cleaners and social workers.
