NSW Needs More was founded in January 2025 by Carly Richardson, a young person after experiencing harm within NSW’s public mental health system. Driven by the urgent need for change, she launched this page to build a case for a potential class action against the NSW Government, to hold it accountable for it’s severe underfunding at the price of people’s wellbeing and lives.

If you or a loved one has experienced preventable injury, harm, or death due to systemic failures within NSW’s public mental health sector, we want to hear your story. Every single story and experience counts, and will help contribute to creating desperately needed mental health reform within our state!
