Mental Health and Suicide Prevention

HON PETER COLLIER (North Metropolitan — Leader of the Opposition) [9.45 pm]: One of the great tragedies of COVID-19 is that families and friends have not been able to attend the funerals of their loved ones. On 4 April 2020 the world lost a genuinely wonderful woman. Her name was Andrea Mitchell. This is part of the eulogy that I delivered at her funeral which was, unfortunately, attended by only 10 people. In normal circumstances hundreds would have taken the opportunity to say goodbye to this magnificent woman.

1314. Hon ALISON XAMON to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Mental Health:

I refer to the Education and Health Standing Committee report “The Impact of FIFO Work Practices on Mental Health”, recommendation 21, about the development of a mental health and suicide prevention training program.

(1)  Has the program been developed?

(2)  If yes to (1), is it being delivered?

(3)  If no to (1) or (2), why not?
