Mental Health Review Tribunal

The Mental Health Review Tribunal is a legal body that reviews the cases of individuals detained under mental health laws. Its main purpose is to ensure that these individuals' rights are protected and that their treatment is appropriate. The tribunal evaluates whether detention is necessary for the person’s safety or the safety of others and considers their mental health condition. Individuals can appeal to the tribunal to challenge their detention or treatment plans. The tribunal aims to balance public safety with the need for compassionate care and the individual's autonomy in managing their mental health.
