Answer -

In 2019, the Government announced an $88.4 million commitment to provide every public high school with two dedicated mental health professionals, so onsite, timely support would be available to students.

The school counselling service is part of a broader range of wellbeing support available to support students in New South Wales public schools. School counselling staff work collaboratively with learning and support teams, parents and carers and other agencies, to provide timely mental health support for students.
