Mr. Michael Ryan:

I thank the Senator for the question. That collaborative piece is very important because someone who is trying to recover from a mental health challenge has holistic needs. It is unrealistic to think that one clinician or one person could address them. A suite of expertise needs to be available. As others have outlined, different organisations are better equipped to respond to different things. We must always bear in mind the needs of the person who needs the help and ask what kind of intervention they want. Some people, for good reasons of their own, may prefer not to have a clinical intervention and may look for something else. We need to be able to respond to that sort of diverse demand as well. That is important.
