Consumer Rights Under the Mental Health Act

These resources were created to provide information to mental health consumers on their rights under the NSW Mental Health Act 2007, and how to exercise those rights. BEING developed these resources through a combination of workshops and co-design committee meetings made up of people with lived experience. The selection of topics chosen for these resources was a product of this co-design process, prioritising those deemed to be of greatest interest and need.

There are two versions of each. You can browse the comprehensive version of each topic here on the website by clicking on the buttons below, and at the end of each section, you also have the opportunity to download an abbreviated PDF version that you can print out.
