First aid training

NEW FOR 2024

Mental health first aid training

On the 25th of January 2023, under the Ten-Minute Rule, Mr Russell re-introduced a bill, making it a legal requirement for employers to provide mental health first aid training.

The bill was first introduced in 2021 by Mr Russell who cited the “Where’s Your Head At?” campaign as evidence of public support of the proposal. The campaign aimed to make it a legal requirement for all workplaces to have a mental health first aider and even received 200,000 signatures. 2025 is when its expected to be passed.
