I refer the Minister to the answer to question without notice 591, asked on 1 September 2021, and I ask, how many officers benefited from the contract services provided by the $240,000 per annum for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 to date?

The answer to question without notice 591 advised the contract services value is $260,000 and not $240,000.
Stigma around mental illness can be a barrier to people accessing services. Our police officers are encouraged and supported to access the service provided.
The Western Australian Police Force advise the number of police officers who benefited from the service in 2018 was 89; in 2019 was 81, in 2020 was 128, and in 2021 has been 149.
