Review of the Mental health Act 1986
The Victorian Government is currently developing a state wide reform vision for mental health services.
Responses to the consultation paper Because mental health matters: A new focus for mental health and wellbeing in Victoria, released earlier in 2008, will help shape Victoria’s new mental health strategy and our future service system. The vision emphasises the fundamental importance of flexible, consume oriented services with an increased focus on recovery.
Legislation plays a key part in reflecting and facilitating these objectives.
The Government aims to introduce new mental health legislation in the Victorian Parliament in 2010. All interested members of the Victorian community are3 invited to make their views on the future shape of the act known to the panel.
