The Australian Air Pilots Mutual Benefit Fund (MBF) provides some limited cover for some mental illnesses - depending on the type (schizophrenia, bipolar, etc) you may be eligible for your Capital Payment or the Disability Payment. Note that depression is only covered by the Disability Benefit portion. But at least there is some coverage.
EDIT - not sure if this is what applies to Virgin pilots.
