A new $28 million COVID-19 mental health fund will help Queenslanders who are becoming increasingly vulnerable during the current health crisis.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced the fund for non-government services on April 14, as the state’s total number of cases jumped to almost 1000 and a childcare centre was shut because of infection.
