I move:

That the following matters be referred to the Education and Employment References Committee for inquiry and report by 5 December 2018:

The role of Commonwealth, state and territory Governments in addressing the high rates of mental health conditions experienced by first responders, emergency service workers and volunteers, with particular reference to:

(a) the nature and underlying causes of mental health conditions experienced by first responders, emergency service workers and volunteers;

(b) research identifying linkages between first responder and emergency service occupations, and the incidence of mental health conditions;

(c) management of mental health conditions in first responder and emergency services organisations, factors that may impede adequate management of mental health within the workplace and opportunities for improvement, including:

  (i) reporting of mental health conditions,

  (ii) specialised occupational mental health support and treatment services,

  (iii) workers' compensation,

  (iv) workplace culture and management practices,

  (v) occupational function and return-to-work arrangements,
