Mental health

Depending on the complexity of their mental health issues and associated care needs, a person may use one or a range of public services as part of their journey of care.

BHI reports routinely on seclusion and restraint practices in specialised acute mental health units, and basic measures of hospital activity for people with mental health conditions. Other bodies produce reports which provide a broader picture of mental health services in NSW and Australia.

Explore key findings from recent BHI reports and information products relevant to mental health below.

In 2019, BHI released an in-depth report on mental health care in NSW. While migration of content to this new website continues, this report remains available on our previous website here.
