Regulation of creative therapists

Summary

Senator Noone says unqualified people are presenting themselves as creative therapists and asks for regulation and a wider mental-health debate.

We have a situation where all sorts of people can set themselves out as creative therapists to treat people although they have no proper expertise in the area. It is an area that seriously needs to be regulated.
