Today is World Mental Health Day.

Each year on October 10 we all have the chance to put mental health in the spotlight to raise awareness and break down stigma.

This year we have focussed on the meaningful connections in our lives, and why they are so important for good mental health.

Mental health is an issue that touches each and every one of us in different ways, and World Mental Health Day reminds us that we should be connecting with loved ones, connecting with our community and colleagues, connecting with services and supports if needed - and most importantly - connecting back with ourselves for good mental health.

Is your recruitment practice up to standard? We issued a $4,000 fine to a church for failing to verify workers’ Working with Children Check. The church allowed a barred person to continue volunteering despite being informed of the bar, saying the person was well known as a good person who was just helping out when they needed volunteers. The barred worker was ultimately removed after our investigation. Verifying Working with Children Checks is a legal requirement in child-related work.
