 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.
