Forty-one percent. That's the proportion of Australian workers aged 14 to 24 who report living in a state of psychological distress for six months or more. Not a bad week. Not exam stress.

In the financial year 2022, Australia accepted 13,000 workers' compensation claims for mental health. In that same period, 4.1 million Australian workers reported living with a mental ill health condition for six months or more. That's 4.1 million out of a total workforce of 14 million and barely a fraction of them showed up in the system.
