An extra $5 million in federal government funding will go to mental health support in Victoria as people struggle with the COVID-19 outbreak.

The focus for the new support will be on year 11 and 12 students and young adults, Prime Minister Scott Morrison says, with the money to be divided among three charities—Kids Helpline, Lifeline and Beyond Blue.
