Chairman:

Before I pass on the delegates to Senator Colette Kelleher, I wish to ask Ms Rashimi one question. Will she talk us through, literally step by step, what someone with a mental health issue and who is undocumented does? Does he or she go to a GP or what happens?

I cannot speak for everyone but it would be the normal process of going to a GP and being referred on to a counsellor or a mental health care practitioner. It is an issue, however, that at every single point - no matter where - a person cannot disclose his or her illegal status. A person cannot disclose it to his or her doctor or to the counsellor.
