Rob, this is something where we share an interest ... I'd have PM'd you but that's not allowed by your settings! If you're interested in sharing more drop me a PM back ?
There's certainly some evidence to suggest that that might be the case ...
BUT the difficulty seems to be ( from direct observation) that many are already unwell at point of entry and seem to think that 'working in the trade' will make them well ... in reality, that simply does not work and (again from observation) the situation arises that the 'professional's issue' are triggered by the 'patient's issues' and vice versa ... so it becomes a vicious spiral of an industry that grows massively but appears to produces fewer 'successful outcomes' ?
By successful outcome I'd mean a full recovery, drug free and fully participating in life / work / relationships / social etc to at least the extent they did prior to 'diagnosis / treatment'
I don't know about Australia, but ( from a Lawyer working in the MH Legislative field) NZ Law is written in such a way that once a person has received MH treatment the only ways to escape the system is to 'avoid detection' for a period ( I was told six months ) or to seek a hearing from a Judge within a fairly tight timescale ( from memory 7 days ) I found it interesting that a Judge can over rule the opinion of psychiatrists ...
Nothing to stop you heading over for a couple months ...
Plenty of easy opps, airbnb have a lot of 'self contained fully furnished' places advertised and that way you can be free of family 'bindings' ( so to speak) and a longer rental means a lower rate ( haggling :-) )
And, a couple months ... maybe you have good neighbours to keep an eye on the property ?
But there's practical considerations ... cost of living, housing, whats the Irish and UK property markets like ( what would you get from what you have ) pension income / transferability , do your family drive you daft, why did you go to Ireland in the first case ... do the reasons for going there still have as much weight today ?
( No, I'm NOT asking you to tell it all here ... just suggesting a few Q's to ask yourself eh :-) )
Abstract Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. Suicide rates have been reported to be particularly high in professional, managerial, and executive groups. We reviewed English language epidemiological studies on suicide and occupation published since 1982. Some studies suggest that workers in a number of occupations, including chemistry, farming, and law enforcement, may have elevated suicide rates.
The weight of current evidence supports the conclusion that both male and female physicians have elevated rates of suicide, with females at particularly high risk.
Elevated rates of suicide in a particular occupational group may result from a complex interaction between job factors such as work stress and access to means and other risk factors such as age and presence of a mental disorder.

The topic refers to mental illness being contagious!
Not mental health ... but it IS a fact that when a community has more people who individually have a greater tolerance for others then that community 'as a whole' benefits.
So, using contagion 'loosely' yes ... it rubs off on others
OK ... so let's say you've just won 39 Gazillion Euros on Euro Millions and you;re there collecting your winnings when they point out 'The Very Small Print' that you'd not read!
It states you'll have to dress up as a queen ( TG NOT ROYALTY ) and visit all Euro Capitals wearing a tutu, fishnet tights and a teapot on your head !
I've made it more fun for you all by hiding the Cuddly Counsellors and the Aloe Infused Tissues ... but don't waste time looking for the therapy dogs ... they quit en masse weeks ago!
If y'all cry loud enough Hillary might drop by ... but depends on the prison bus schedule of course
and, as I'd like to think it MAY still be possible to have a serious conversation here I'll offer the dictionary definition
Tolerate
verb 1. Allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (something that one dislikes or disagrees with) without interference. "a regime unwilling to tolerate dissent" synonyms: allow, permit, authorize, sanction, condone, indulge, agree to, accede to, approve of; More
2. Be capable of continued subjection to (a drug, toxin, or environmental condition) without adverse reaction. "lichens grow in conditions that no other plants tolerate"
So, and I ask in all seriousness, given that so many of the political left, the stridently politically correct and those of certain religious and cultural persuasions appear to be completely UNABLE to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of (anything that they dislike or disagree with) without interference is it reasonable to assume that they have mental health problems ?
I don't know if anyone here has come across the possibility that mental ill health might be contagious ... if there is I'm especially interested in hearing.
And to the bobbleheads and noddy dogs that can't take part seriously ... Gosh, look of course, absolutely you're entitled to a nice safe space ... so I created that just for you and it's called "The nice safe space thread" all stocked up with cuddly counsellors and aloe vera infused tissues ... but the therapy dogs, they all quit en masse ... quoting their own psychological needs as dogs and their refusal to be exploited further
I think that a great many people already ARE very 'weary' of immigrants, or to be more process 'weary of the changes that have been forced upon them by large numbers of immigrants who are totally unwilling to accept rule of law and the old adage of 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do'
On the other hand, I wonder, did you perhaps mean 'wary' of immigrants?
Given the number of individuals who ( to use UK as an example though of course there are others ... Belgium especially springs to mind ) were born in the UK or Belgium and who have committed terrorist atrocities in those countries ... I suspect 'wariness' of people from certain places and cultures is long since past inevitable?
Well, I'd be asking was they water wells, or gas wells. or oil wells ?
UK Economy could do with a bit of good luck with some nice oil n gas wells ... but then Our (Special Relationship) Friends from Across The Pond would bomb the crap out of the country for stealing Their Oil !
Seems to me that it's even MORE important to have a photo on a gun licence than it is on a drivers licence and I'm of the opinion that it's absolutely essential to have a photo on a driving licence ( for obvious reasons like identifying that the person taking the driving test is the person who's applying for and using the privilege of having the licence and road user privileges. )
