Thanks for all the suggestions! I’ll pass them on … and yes, ant, witnessing protacted APS bullying from the sidelines (I’m in a different agency now) was dreadful, particularly when the HR department were complicit. The person concerned USED to be highly competent in their professional field.

Yep. I’ve seen it. I still don’t understand it, how people do this stuff. Or why. Weirdly, the HR people are the worst. Help your friend to get that help, or they’ll have this for years or even decades.

Similarly, DEEWR are among the worst offenders (in my view), and they look after workplace relations and protecting employees from nasty employers

isn’t this australia? don’t mates and a pub do it any more?? (sarcasm alert)

good luck – i have heard much good of lev fridgant, at calvary specialist centre.

To get medicare subsidy I think they will need to go through their GP for a referral as part of a health plan. Otherwise private health may cover it

Wanniass is correct. Your friend needs to start with a GP, who has the option of drawing up a mental health treatment plan, which then enables your friend to access various allied health services with Medicare assistance, including psychologists, psychiatrists and other MH therapists.

You should encourage them to do this, I-filed, as from what you’ve mentioned, they’ve been through something pretty harrowing. This will help, a lot.
