I have been asked before about the state of health of those defence personnel who boarded the SIEV36. There were injuries sustained, as you know. Five ADF personnel received first aid for injuries sustained in the explosion. All personnel on board the vessel participated in critical mental health screening following their involvement in the incident. A total of 54 personnel were involved in some capacity in the Ashmore Reef incident on 16 April. Of those involved, all have had immediate post-deployment psychological testing. (Time expired)
