Lifeline Broken Hill Country to Coast

In reply to Ms PRATT (Frome) (17 June 2022). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing): I have been advised:

The Lifeline Connect Centre model was presented in an information sharing session to Wellbeing SA on 24 June 2021.

Since this date, I understand that Wellbeing SA has not had ongoing discussion. However as the member would know, I have received a letter co-signed from the member for Stuart, member for Narungga, member for Frome, Legatus Group and Lifeline Broken Hill Country to Coast and I understand my office has set up a meeting to discuss this matter further, and I will be inviting Wellbeing SA to be part of that discussion.

I also know that the new Premier's Advocate for Suicide Prevention, Nadia Clancy MP, has hit the ground running and already visited the Clare Connect Centre to discuss the services currently funded by the Country SA PHN.
