Compass has an exclusive story on the spate of mental health crises amongst Australia’s high-end chefs, with depression and suicides becoming all too common. But we feature four high profile chefs who have devised strategies to ensure the wellbeing of their staff and their own mental health.
High costs, risk and long hours have always put chefs under enormous pressure, but it’s the advent of social media, and the constant reviews, many unfair, that have made them more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.
Compass gives the audience a rare glimpse into some of the best kitchens in Australia, following four distinguished chefs.Neil Perry – a national icon who recently opened a 250 seat Chinese restaurant in Sydney called SONGBIRD. Compass has been granted exclusive access to SONGBIRD in the lead up to its opening.
Two renowned chefs from Melbourne - Jacqui Challinor, Executive Chef of the NOMAD group and Ben Shewry, the owner of the award-winning ATTICA restaurant in Melbourne.
Compass also travels to Bali to meet Tim Stapleforth - a young chef who gave up a lucrative career in Melbourne, and now works to incorporate Balinese values of community and spirituality into his cooking.

Saturday 12 October 7.30pm
Alphy is invited to a party at a country manor, where he hopes to raise funds for the ailing church. The evening’s frivolities are cut short when a body is found in the basement.
Alphy receives a mysterious letter in the post one day: a torn-out page of the Bible with a quote circled on it. Not only that, but this is the second time he’s received post of its kind. The meaning behind both letters entirely escapes him. But Alphy doesn’t have long to dwell on this because he has been invited to Marwood Manor for dinner and a party. Alphy plans to use this opportunity to drum up funds for the ailing church, which is currently suffering from rising damp.
But before she agrees to anything officially, Lady Marwood announces that it’s time to play hide and seek. Alphy finds himself in the basement, where he bumps into a shifty Lord Marwood. As Alphy opens a cupboard, looking for a suitable hiding spot, he is shocked to discover a dead body inside.
The body is that of Dennis, the Marwoods’ gardener, who had apparently left the manor only a day before without a word. They find a blackmail letter on him but it’s not immediately clear whether the letter is addressed to Dennis or if he’d written it for someone else. As Alphy and Geordie continue to investigate the murky world of the manor, they begin to uncover strange secrets and illicit desires amongst the residents and staff.
Things are more fraught than ever at the Keatings, with Cathy and Esme still constantly fighting. Now at her wit’s end, Cathy urges Geordie to sit down with Esme and talk to her about her recent behaviour.

In a sudden uncontrollable rage, Cathy tells Esme that she hates her. Esme storms out of the room, tears stinging her eyes, whilst Geordie looks on concerned.The next morning, Esme leaves with her suitcase but Cathy refuses to come to the door to say goodbye.
