维多利亚警方新建的全科医生心理健康检查对新兵造成了安全和培训方面的反响. Victoria Police’s new GP-based mental fitness checks for recruits face backlash over safety and training concerns.

维多利亚警察2025年将医生批准新兵的精神健康状态,这引起了RACGP的批评,该机构警告医生缺乏评估高风险警务角色的培训,危及公共安全,并使医生面临法律和保险责任. Victoria Police’s 2025 shift to having GPs approve recruits’ mental fitness for duty is drawing criticism from the RACGP, which warns GPs lack training to assess high-risk policing roles, risking public safety and exposing doctors to legal and insurance liabilities. 新的程序以在线测试和GP批准取代了内部心理评估,引起了对不合格候选人通过和潜在的“医生购物”的担忧。 维多利亚州警方认为这一变化是高效和安全意识的,但将于2月18日与RACGP会面讨论修订事宜。 The new process replaces internal psychological evaluations with an online test and GP approval, raising concerns about unfit candidates passing and potential “doctor shopping.” While Victoria Police defends the change as efficient and safety-conscious, it will meet with RACGP on February 18 to discuss revisions.
