Welcome to the consumer information page. Here we hope to provide you with information relevant to a range of mental health topics and general information. Of course your opinion is very important to us and should you wish to make any comments, please feel free to provide your feedback.

As a consumer we would urge you not to be apprehensive about seeking advice or consulting professional help, in general there are some simple guidelines you can follow to help you decide on seeking assistance.

South Australia has about 20 community health services throughout the state. If you are seeking information on how to contact mental health workers or community teams, then you can do so here.

When contacting or dealing with mental health organisations, it is worth your while to have an understanding of your rights and responsibilities. This may help you achieve the best possible outcome. Frequently asked questions such as what are legal exemptions and advocates can be difficult to understand and you should be aware that there are a number of Public Advocates and Advisory Groups who can assist in all aspects of mental health management and treatment issues.

Of course, things don't always go to plan and at times you may have genuine cause for pursuing a grievance or complaint, which is why processes have been developed to ensure that your issues are acknowledged and resolved where possible.

We have compiled a list of sites that we hope can be of value to many people in finding information relating to mental health.
