Feel free to complete this form if you would like your loved one’s experience of inadequate, inaccessible, or insufficient mental healthcare in NSW shared to our website’s Testimonial Gallery. By sharing their story, you can help expose the dangers of underfunding mental healthcare, and advocate for reform.
For safeguarding reasons, all submissions will be published only after approval by site moderators. Please keep in mind that your loved one will also receive a copy of your submission for review and must independently provide their consent before it can be published. Once published, your loved one will retain full ownership of the submission and can request edits or removal at any time
Stories containing the following will not be approved:
1. The name, photo, or other pieces of personal information which could risk revealing a minor’s identity.
2. The name, photo, or other pieces of personal information which could risk revealing a patient’s identity (unless consent is otherwise obtained). Healthcare workers must not disclose any information which could risk revealing their patients identity.
2. The depiction of other individuals, including healthcare workers, in an overly negative light. Any stories involving negative encounters with other individuals must be written in a way that clearly ties back to the systemic problems inside NSW’s mental health system. The emphasis of your submission must on the system as a whole, not others within it.
