Mental Health Act 1986 Review


The following was received from the Victorian Department of Health:

The Department of Health has recently published an information sheet outlining the status of the review of the Mental Health Act 1986. It can be accessed here. The information sheet can also be found on the review website.

With the drafting of the new Bill underway, the next step is its introduction into Parliament, the process by which the Bill will become Victoria’s new mental health legislation.

The extensive consultations held in 2008 and throughout 2009, and the 219 submissions lodged by individuals and organisations have all informed and enhanced the review process.
