Mental health workers across Victoria’s public hospitals and Forensicare are striking today, marching to Parliament House to demand better working conditions and system reform.

The protest, led by a banner reading “772 Too Many,” honours the 772 Victorians lost to suicide last year, marked by a Palestinian drumming ceremony.
