Jeff Kennett, chairman of Beyond Blue, will speak on day one of the inaugural Emergency Services Gathering, with the topic “Welfare of Employees – the Second Priority of all Employees after Good Governance,” Gallagher Bassett has announced.

The GB-hosted event will be held May 30 to 31 at the Intercontinental Melbourne, to allow delegates to discuss and share information about preventing and managing mental health in the workplace, as well as give them the opportunity to collaborate on pilot projects.

Also speaking at the event is Mark Donaldson, Victorian Cross recipient, who will discuss “Transition – Helping ex-Military Personnel Returning to the Workplace or Life in General.”

The Melbourne event is open to C-Suite executives and managers from emergency service organisations whose roles or decision-making responsibilities align to WHS, health and wellbeing, injury management or workers’ compensation, as well as to key representatives from government regulators, industry unions, specialist providers, not-for-profit organisations, and academic institutions, GB said in a statement.
