 John MULLAHY (Glen Waverley) (14:53): (1318) My question is directed to the Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC, and my question is: how will the Allan Labor government’s initiative of providing tailored support to reduce mental injury in workplaces support residents in the Glen Waverley district? We understand that the mental wellbeing of every Victorian is critical, and this is an important step in addressing both the psychological and physical risks associated with stress. This builds on the recent announcement that under new regulations employers will be required to identify and manage psychosocial hazards in their workplaces. These practical and proactive measures will seek to ensure that Victorians feel heard, supported and safe at work. The mentally healthy workplaces service will be free and confidential, helping businesses identify and manage psychological hazards. I trust that this will be welcomed by both employers and employees alike. I thank the minister in advance for his response.

Will Fowles: On a point of order, Speaker, just on unanswered questions if I can: unanswered questions on notice for the Minister for Health, 2889, 2888, 2840, 2839, 2838, 2837, 2836, 2835, 2834, 2833, 2832, 2831 and 2830; unanswered questions for the Minister for Police, who I notice is sitting at the table, 2866, 2864, 2863 and 2851; for the Minister for Housing and Building, 2488, 2865, 2803 and constituency question 1280; for the Minister for Environment, 2804; for the Minister for Skills and TAFE, 2762, 2761, 2760 and 2759; for the Treasurer, question on notice 2454 as well as constituency question 1280; and for the Premier, adjournments 1226 and 1187 and constituency question 1176.
