Peak medical bodies are calling on the federal government to reunite the Biloela family while their youngest daughter,
Tharnicaa, continues to receive medical care in Perth.
The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) expressed concern for the mental health and wellbeing of the family and their unwell daughter.
Dr Kym Jenkins, chair of RANZP’s asylum seeker and refugee mental health network committee, said:
It’s beyond understanding why the federal government would separate the family when one of their daughters is so unwell.
It goes against everything we stand for as a country to continue to cause so much grief and suffering to this family. To be separated from each other during a time of significant stress and anxiety simply compounds the already existing mental health and wellbeing issues they’re suffering in detention.
