Description
This document outlines a revised set of mental health service standards which can be applied to all mental health services, including government, non-government and private sectors across Australia.These National Standards for Mental Health Services focus on:
• how services are delivered
• whether they comply with policy directions
• whether they meet expected standards of communication and consent
• whether they have procedures and practices in place to monitor and govern particular
areas—especially those which may be associated with risk to the consumer, or which
involve coercive interventions.
