Mental Health Act (2014) Review - Psychosis Submission: Drug Induced Psychosis Survey
The Mental Health Act (2014) is currently being reviewed. This is an opportunity to provide feedback and recommendations to improve the act.
The Alcohol and Other Drug Consumer and Community Coalition are seeking input from members with first hand lived experience with the Mental Health Act (2014), specifically in the area of Drug Induced Psychosis treatment.
In August 2021 a discussion paper was released highlighting issues with the current Act. These issues have been identified through community consultation as well as the final report of the Select Committee into Alternative Approaches to Reducing illicit Drug use and its Effects on the Community.
Please see below for links to access the documents mentioned, and to read the key points relating to drug-induced psychosis which came about from the Select committee’s report.
We have put together a short survey to hear your experiences. We are offering a $60 voucher to a randomly selected member for their experience.
If you would like to go in to the running, please fill out your details at the end of the survey.
All experiences shared will not be identified.

Reference Group - Expression of Interest
As part of the ongoing development of the Alcohol and Other Drug Consumer and Community Coalition, we are establishing a consumer reference group to represent the voice of our members in our advocacy.
This group will consist of AODCCC members who will meet monthly to share their lived experience expertise. The development of this group will ensure we maintain authentic engagement of our members that informs AODCCC projects and systemic advocacy opportunities, including service provision.
Our Reference Groups are not limited to one intake, and just because expressions are closed for a group, doesn't mean we won't reopen them in the future, or have other opportunities for members to apply.
