You can make a complaint to the service directly or contact us at the Mental Health Complaints Commissioner (MHCC) to discuss your concerns.

The MHCC was created under the Mental Health Act 2014 as an independent body to safeguard rights, resolve complaints and recommend improvements to Victorian public mental health services. Find complaint stories.

Even if we can’t help you directly with your particular concerns, we will do our best to put you in touch with people who can. For example:
