74017 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: Further to 58186 (2024), what specific "mental health conditions", if any, would mean a young person could not fully or safely participate in the programme?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised that there was not a set list of mental health conditions that were specifically identified as preventing a young person from fully or safely participating in the Military-Style Academy Pilot. Instead, the individual psychological needs of each young person were assessed on a case-by-case basis, including during assessments with a senior psychologist.
