Description
The National Mental Health Policy has set the directions for development and reform in mentalhealth care in Australia since 1992. The policy states that the ’direction set down in the national policy will result in significant improvement in the treatment, care and quality of life for all Australians who suffer from mental health problems and mental disorders.’ The National Mental Health Policy lays the foundation for these standards.
