Constituency Question: Doctors In Secondary Schools

Ms SPENCE (Yuroke) — (12 650) My constituency question is to the Minister for Education. How will secondary students in the Yuroke electorate benefit from the Doctors in Secondary Schools program? The Yuroke Youth Advisory Council, which I established in 2015 and consists of young people from across the Yuroke electorate, chooses a topic to focus on each year. This year they have chosen the issue of mental health, and at their most recent meeting discussed the availability of mental health services for young people in our community. With both of the government secondary schools in the Yuroke electorate having been selected to participate in this initiative, I know that members of the advisory council and other young people living in the Yuroke electorate will be pleased to hear about the Doctors in Secondary Schools program and how it will benefit them.
