Title: International human rights obligations and mental health review tribunals
Author/Creator: Rees, Neil
Institution: The University of Newcastle. Faculty of Business & Law, School of Law
Description: All Australian states and territories, as part of the first Mental Health Plan, agreed to enact legislation which complied with the United Nations Principles. As Victoria considers the possibility of updating its mental health legislation, it is timely to gauge whether the current legislation, the Mental Health Act 1986, complies with the United Nations Principles. In those instances where the current Act falls short of the requirements of the principles, the policy arguments for and against changing the legislation to comply with the principles are considered.
