A stark memorial of 121 empty chairs was displayed at Victorian parliament to represent Indigenous lives lost to suicide over the past five years. The state's peak Aboriginal health body has criticized the government for failing to implement or fund recommended First Nations healing centres that were proposed in the 2021 royal commission into mental health. This represents a critical gap between policy recommendations and government action on Indigenous mental health support.
