Great to see specialist treatment support for first responders and health professionals in tonight’s #FederalBudget. Also some baby steps towards increasing the mental health workforce….though much more will be needed in coming years.

Amazing talk by Stan Grant at #RANZCP2022 - covering so many issues….First Nation mental health, false promise of Liberal Democracy and his own lived experience of mental illness. Don’t often see a standing ovation at a conference!

So wonderful to see so much great Black Dog Institute and UNSW Medicine & Health research being presented at #RANZCP2022 Congress. Latest is Prof Loo presenting the results from our latest trial of ketamine for depression. Exciting signals in the early results……

Flying into a very wet Canberra for a meeting about the health workforce. Hoping the dialogue is better than the weather! Will be waving the ‘no health without mental health’ flag

Thrilled to be chairing this session on the Future of Work and Opportunities at the Workplace Mental Health Symposium with @DrMarkDeady presenting the data on how work is changing for Australians and the impact of this on mental health #WMHS22 Black Dog Institute

Wonderful to have our new health minister bring together a room of health professionals to discuss the health workforce. Clear we need to increase mental health workforce and prioritise mental health of health professionals Mark Butler MP Black Dog Institute

Well……if I am going to have to do some work on a Sunday, this is not a bad place to do it! #sydney Black Dog Institute

RANZCP President Vinay Lakra spoke with the ABC News regarding wait times to see a #psychiatrist, and highlighted that increased funding is required for additional training positions and supervisors, and for boosting #mentalhealth services. abc.net.au/news/2022-09-0…

In many ways Australia has led the world in mental health awareness, but is this enough? And has all this talk distracted us from the actions we need to take? Here are my views as published in the The Australian theaustralian.com.au/inquirer/suici…

Complex problem. Complex project. Complex Definition! Better serving suicidal men: rethinking “under the radar” insightplus.mja.com.au/2022/34/better…

“We need to take a “whatever it takes” approach and invest accordingly.” Prof. Sam Harvey shares the two key actions we need to take as a collective to reduce rates of suicide and make mental health a priority in Australia. theaustralian.com.au/inquirer/suici…

Honoured to be sharing a stage with the very impressive Sally McManus to speak about workplace mental health at the ACTU conference on workplace safety. “Australia is at a cross road….and ready for a serious conversation about mental health” Black Dog Institute

Pretty wonderful to see @HM_Christensen recognised for her extraordinary leadership in suicide prevention with a LIFE Award at Parliament House this morning, with high praise from both sides of the political fence. Black Dog Institute

Thanks so much!

After many years of talking the talk about the importance of mental health research, I thought this year I should walk the walk. Please consider supporting my 40km challenge in One Foot Forward to help raise money for Black Dog Institute . onefootforward.org.au/s/99777/110395…

Making the most of extra time in Tassie (cancelled flight). Using my Black Dog Institute ball whilst racking up the kms walked to fund raise money for our amazing research and implementation teams. Here is the link if anyone would like to sponsor me onefootforward.org.au/fundraisers/sa…

Out of isolation after a brief bout of COVID-19. Very grateful for amazing science of vaccination, though still felt pretty unwell with full blown man flu syndrome

Amazing morning walking with over a thousand people to raise money for mental health and Black Dog Institute as part of #onefootforward.
