Who are official visitors?

Official Visitors are people with experience in mental health treatment and care. They are appointed by the Minister for Mental Health and are independent from NSW Health. With a purpose to keep the humanity in mental health care, they visit public and private mental health facilities and emergency departments every month.

 

What can Official Visitors do for you and your carers?

Official Visitors can assist you to talk to hospital staff, advise you about your rights and about any concerns you may have about your mental health treatment.
How can I talk to an Official Visitor?

People who are receiving or have received care and treatment in either public or private mental health facilities can contact an Official Visitor in three ways – in person when they visit a facility, by phone or by email.
