Labor's Plan for a Full Force - In Full Health
Police see things most Victorians should never have to see.
The job takes a toll.
That’s why the Police Association of Victoria built BlueHub – to support the mental health and wellbeing of police.
A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will back BlueHub with more than $10 million in support.
We want to keep it going forever.
BlueHub makes a difference
BlueHub was built by police, for police.
The service provides specialist psychological and counselling support.
Police who have gone through BlueHub have recorded reductions in PTSD, anxiety and depression.
Nearly a third of members who completed treatment with BlueHub returned to work.
How Labor’s plan supports BlueHub
Our $10 million investment will allow BlueHub to endure long-term – and plan ahead with certainty.
It also allows BlueHub to expand, with new early intervention support for officers at serious risk of mental injury.
Looking after the police who protect us means more police on the frontline, keeping our community safe.
This builds on the $5.6 million Labor has already delivered for BlueHub’s vital work.
And it’s supported by our real plan to hire 1,500 more police and get Victoria Police back to full force.
Labor cares about police and their mental health and wellbeing.
Liberals and One Nation just care about cuts.
