The 2014 Act came into effect in July 2014. It introduced new principles to support people experiencing mental illness to make and participate in treatment decision (shared decision making) and to have their views and preferences considered and respected.
The National Stigma Report Card presents the findings from Our Turn to Speak, the most comprehensive survey of its kind in Australia.
The findings strongly reinforce the importance of continuing to work collaboratively to build an Australia free from stigma and discrimination.
SANE Australia and partners will use the National Stigma Report Card to drive meaningful, systemic change that sees people affected by complex mental health issues being supported and included as equal members of our community.
