Tribunal and Public Mental Health Services Survey |
Introduction
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, NSW Health has made several changes to the Mental Health Act. These changes impact the care of people with a mental illness. At Mental Health Carers NSW, we want to understand the impact on carers of these changes so we can advise carers and provide feedback to NSW Health and provider organisations.
