Mental health services

Mr WAKELING: Over recent months I have spoken to many Knox residents who have raised significant issues about their own mental health or the mental health of a family member. Six lockdowns have had a significant impact on the Knox community. The Liberal-Nationals plan to help our community recover and rebuild includes allowing 2000 registered counsellors to immediately deliver mental health services within the Victorian community—plus launching the largest ever mental health worker recruitment drive. The mental health of Victorians desperately needs help, and the Liberal-Nationals have a clear plan to fix it.
