On the day that’s dedicated to shining the spotlight on doctors’ psychological wellbeing, the RACGP is making fresh calls to change mandatory reporting laws to ensure GPs seek help for mental health issues.

CrazySocks4Docs Day, founded by Melbourne cardiologist Dr Geoff Toogood, takes place on the first Friday in June every year.
