Victorian statement of rights - Assessment order
An Assessment order means a psychiatrist can assess you to decide if they think you need compulsory treatment even if you don’t want this to happen. An assessment can include the psychiatrist asking you questions.
Statements of rights are documents that set out a person’s rights, and the processes that apply while a person is receiving a mental health and wellbeing service under Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 (the Act). Statements of rights are approved by the Chief Officer for Mental Health and Wellbeing.
