ABOUT

Being engaged in the mental health system can be confronting.

We advocate for our client’s views and preferences to be heard. Our approach is guided by our client’s needs, combined with our expertise and dedication, we work towards outcomes that our client’s seek for their treatment and recovery.

If you have a proceeding before the Mental Health Tribunal, we may be able to advocate for you to apply for a substantial reduction or removal of the restrictions under an order.

We can help you to navigate the system and provide early advice so that you are supported to make an application to vary or revoke your order.

In some circumstances, it may be possible to appeal the Mental Health Tribunal decision to make an order for you. A successful appeal requires a deep understanding of mental health law, so it is important to get advice to know your options.

Having a mental health order made for you can be devastating.

We advise our clients on what an order means for them and their supporters and carers. Finding a lawyer who is empathetic and has expertise in the area is essential, so that you can understand the requirements and focus on your recovery.

If you believe that your circumstances have changed it may be possible to apply to reduce the restrictions that apply to you or revoke the order.

We can provide legal advice to support you with treatment orders and navigating the mental health system.

We provide legislative drafting services and instruct on the development of legislative proposals. We assist with the design of regulatory schemes to navigate policy problems to find fit for purpose legislative solutions.

We understand the complexity of regulatory design and compliance. We have advised and drafted solutions to regulatory problems for over 12 years.

Our lawyers can provide advice and drafting services to assist with the development of an innovative and high-quality outcome.
