Select Committee on Mental Health

Submission and additional information received by the committee as at 21/04/06

Many people made personal submissions to the Committee. The Committee decided to publish many of these submissions with the names of submitters withheld, and in a few cases has decided to accept these submissions on a confidential basis, even if the submitter did not specifically request this. This has generally been done to protect people's privacy, particularly that of third parties who have experienced mental illness and are identified in these submissions.

Submissions from care leavers
The Committee has received many submissions from people who spent time in institutional and foster care during childhood. Most of these submissions were in the form of a standard letter, to which people added details of the place or places where they were in care. These submissions have been accepted, and the names of those who sent them in have been collected together here, along with a copy of the standard letter that was used. Copies of the original letters have been made available to the Committee members, and are publicly available upon request. Where a person also sent a personal submission different to the standard letter, the committee is dealing with that submission separately. Note that, in addition, the Committee has received a submission from Care Leavers of Australia Network (CLAN), which is submission number 400.

Submissions regarding mental health funding and the justice system

Many submitters sent in a standard letter concerning lack of funding of mental health issues, and over-representation of people with mental illness in the criminal justice system. These submissions have been accepted, and the names of those who sent them in have been collected together here, along with a copy of the standard letter that was used.
