MHDA News -September 2025

Vale Peter Fleming

The MHDA family farewells Peter Fleming who worked in many of our mental health services for a very long time. Many staff members will be affected across the service.

Peter was known to be an amazing mentor to early, and not so early, entry practitioners and for his “ can-do, will-do ” attitude.

He was a corner stone of our Disaster Deployment teams having said yes every time we called him regardless of the disaster – oil tankers on fire, floods in QLD, fires in SNSW. He also said yes to being seconded into some of our rural and regional mental health services at times of ex- treme staff shortages.

A further tribute will follow in our December Newsletter with photos of his life in MHDA.

“ Thank you Peter – I will certainly miss you, your expertise, your ability to engage all, your charm and your wit. ” ~ Andrea Taylor
