Thank you, Senator Cox. We know that this event may affect people in different ways, and it's why our package includes targeted support for particular cohorts in addition to the support that I have already mentioned. We've provided $5.6 million to the Black Dog Institute's National Emergency Worker Support Service. This provides an online mental health assessment and triage service as well as free psychological sessions with a particular focus on PTSD. 12 free sessions will be made available to any first responder, including lifeguards and other community members who responded to the attack. We've provided $3 million for targeted support to young Australians, and this will extend the hours of headspace Bondi and support headspace mental health training and education session to school staff, students, parents and carers in schools across Australia.
