Mill Park electorate mental health services
Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:39): I rise today to speak about the important growth of mental health services in and near my electorate of Mill Park. I am pleased to say that the mental health and wellbeing local in Whittlesea was one of the first to be established in Victoria, in 2022, following the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. It was also great to welcome the Minister for Mental Health Ingrid Stitt in the other place to the South Morang site recently to mark the second intake of the early career and graduate program. These passionate and talented graduates are helping to shape the future of Victoria’s mental health workforce, making sure we have accessible services and dedicated health professionals living and working in the north. I thank all those working in this space for their commitment and compassion, and I look forward to seeing this sector continue to grow in the local area.
