2017 Mental Health Advocacy Service (MHAS) Advocates conducted an Inquiry into Treatment, Support and Discharge Plans to ensure compliance with the Mental Health Act 2014 (the Act). Sections 185-188 of the Act 1 require that: • all treatment care and support provided to involuntary patients 2 must be governed by a treatment, support and discharge plan (TSDP); • the patient and any personal support persons (PSPs) must be involved in the preparation and review of the TSDP; • they must be given a copy; and • the TSDP must be prepared, reviewed and revised having regard to the Chief Psychiatrist’s Guidelines. These provisions were a major change under the Act when it was made operational in November 2015. It was hoped that they would lead to cultural change on mental health wards towards more patient-centred care as required by the National Standards for Mental Health Services. The patient’s psychiatrist is the person required by the Act (s187) to ensure that the TSDP requirements are met and the Mental Health Tribunal must have regard to the involuntary patient’s treatment support and discharge plan pursuant to s394 of the Act when considering a patient’s involuntary status. Details of the preparation for, and the conduct of, the Inquiry is set out in Annexure 2, including the information sent to mental health services before the Inquiry began and the reporting requirements of the Advocates. Community Mental Health Services were not included in the TSDP Inquiry, only hospitals. It was not an audit as it was generally accepted that most mental health services were not complying fully with the Act. The outcome sought was to educate mental health services and consumers through a process of having each Advocate 3 facilitate the production of a TSDP for 3 consumers which complied with the Act. Outcomes of the TSDP Inquiry The outcome was not achieved in that the Advocates were not able to produce 3 TSDPs each that fully complied with the Act, even after extending the period of the Inquiry from 30 June to 30 September 2017. There were a number of contributing reasons for this but the main reasons were that: • no mental health services were fully compliant with the Act, and many were not compliant at all, so the task was more difficult than anticipated; and/or • clinicians, including many psychiatrists, were unaware of the requirements of the Act and their responsibilities; and/or • clinicians did not have a process established to help them comply with the Act; and/or • Advocates either could not get staff co-operation or found themselves having to educate staff at a level that included suggested ways of engaging with consumers and carers and other practical aspects of compliance. 1 See annexure 1 for the full wording of the provisions of the Act. 2 This includes people on Community Treatment Orders and mentally impaired accused in an authorised hospital. 3 There were 34 Advocates as at 30 June 2017 in the metropolitan area, Bunbury, Kalgoorlie, Albany and Broome as well as a Youth Advocate and Aboriginal Advocate. 3 In short summary, no health service provider (HSP) was fully compliant with the Act. That remains the cases for most HSPs which means that patient and carer rights under the Act are being breached daily. Despite this disappointing result, however, the TSDP Inquiry: V resulted in education across the sector about the requirements of the Act; V has caused a shift towards compliance, or at least most mental health services have started to think about the changes they need to make to comply with the Act; and V there are pockets of good work being done by some mental health services including at Rockingham, Bentley and Graylands

  • Register of Authorised Hospitals in Western Australia
    Register of Authorised Hospitals in Western Australia Mental Health Act 2014 Section 542 Correct as of 4 August 2020 (OCP23859) www.chiefpsychiatrist.wa.gov.au Introduction Section 542 of the Mental Health Act 2014 provides for the Governor, by order published in the Western Australian Government Gazette to authorise a public hospital or part of a public hospital to be an ‘authorised hospital’ for the purposes of reception and admission of patients requiring involuntary treatment and care. Section 541 provides for a private hospital whose license is endorsed under section 26DA(2) of the Hospitals and Health Services Act 1927 to be an ‘authorised hospital’ on the recommendation by/of the Chief Psychiatrist, for the reception and admission of patients requiring involuntary treatment and care. Please Note: Grant of Leave under section 105(1)(a)(ii) of the Mental Health Act 2014 from an Authorised part of a Hospital to a Non-Authorised part of a Hospital Subdivision 2 of Division 6 of Part 7 of the Mental Health Act 2014 provides for the granting of leave for an involuntary detained patient from an authorised hospital. Section 105 (1)(a)(ii) provides specifically for leave to be granted to a General Hospital for a patient who requires medical or surgical treatment or treatment likely to benefit the inpatient’s physical health in some other way. When an authorised hospital is within a general hospital campus and an involuntary inpatient needs to be treated in the general part of the hospital it is as though it is leave being granted from the authorised facility to the general hospital, despite the fact that both hospitals (authorised and general) are within the same grounds.

Full Name of Degree: BACHELOR OF ARTS IN HISTORY WITH HONOURS Thesis Title: GRAYLANDS: THE EVOLUTION OF A SUBURB Author: PAM MIKUS Year: 2013 ii ABSTRACT ‘Where is this Graylands?’ A journalist posed this question in 1950 and answered by pointing out that the bus company misspelled the name as Greylands; the postal address was Claremont; the railway station was Karrakatta; and the area fell under the Nedlands Road Board. This thesis endeavours to answer the question by describing the unrecognised importance of this small, seemingly inconsequential locality and explaining themes relevant to its history. The original colonial owners of land in this area were pioneers in the mid-nineteenth century. The first, Captain Harding, bequeathed it to his wife and it was eventually owned by her sister, Maria Gray, who gave her name to the suburb. However, although Graylands was recognised locally as a name from 1896 when land sales began, only a road was gazetted in 1902 until the postal district was recognised in 1959.
