In this episode we visit with Associate Professor Vinay Lakra, Northern Health's Divisional Director of Mental Health Services.

A long-time crusader for social equity, Vinay shares on the importance of having a specialised focus on psychiatric illnesses in the same way we do for other medical conditions, and advocates for legislative change beyond awareness.

He presents a strong argument as to why Melbourne is one of the best cities in the world, challenges our thinking on 'speaking up', and reveals he could have been an international cricketer.

He enjoys riding his Harley on the open road, but you won't believe where he prefers to watch movies.

Step up to the crease and prepare to face some right arm over the wicket swing in this episode of Visiting Hours.
