The Department of Health invited submissions about what could be included in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act. We made a submission.

The Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System recommended that the Victorian Government replaces the current Mental Health Act 2014 with a new Mental Health and Wellbeing Act (the new Act). To meet the Royal Commission’s recommendations, the new Act will be in place by mid-2022.
 
The Department of Health recently invited submissions about what could be included in the new Act by sharing an Update and Engagement Paper.
