Thanks very much.
Thank you for joining us all the way from Australia this evening.
Our committee last year had an opportunity to meet one of your younger veterans who was receiving some peer-support counselling out in British Columbia for some operational stress injuries he was enduring. You must be very proud of this young man. He certainly reflected very well upon Australia. He seemed a very courageous young man.
In addition to the peer-supported counselling that we offer and all sorts of other community opportunities for mental health assistance, our government, through the Department of Veterans Affairs, operates 17 OSI clinics. Each of these clinics is staffed with a team of clinicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, and mental health workers.
Does Australia operate a similar model?
