Publication summary
The Mental Health Act 2014 requires the Chief Psychiatrist to be responsible for overseeing the treatment and care to a range of users of mental health services. The Chief Psychiatrist is required to discharge that responsibility by publishing a set of standards for treatment and care provided by Mental Health Services and overseeing compliance with those standards.
This Standard defines a care plan as a written statement developed with the involvement of consumers, carers and relevant others, for consumers, which outlines the treatment and support to be undertaken, the health outcomes to be achieved and review of care which will occur at regular intervals.
