Victorian Laura Hingston says the program will positively impact both the sporting and broader Australian community.
“As a group, I am excited to see what a difference we can make in raising awareness for mental health within our communities,” Laura said.
“Mental health does not discriminate. I am proud to be a Community Custodian for such an important cause.
