The Mental Health Program's Policy and Program Management team is a small team based in Darwin that works to the Director of the Program and across a range of local and national priority areas. The team works in partnership with health services, clinicians, consumers and their carers to develop mental health services that can provide the best outcomes for Territorians and also has a primary responsibility for implementing, monitoring and reporting progress on all National Mental Health Strategy initiatives in addition to substantial local responsibilities.
The Tribunal was established under the Mental Health and Related Services Act 1998 (the Act). It is an independent statutory body that has the power to make decisions about the care and treatment of people who have a mental illness or mental disturbance.
