The Mental Health Review Tribunal

The role of the Mental Health Review Tribunal (MHRT) is to ensure that the processes associated with the involuntary assessment, treatment and detention of a person with a mental illness are appropriately applied.

The MHRT has significant powers to approve the involuntary treatment and detention of people with mental illness. These powers need to be exercised in a transparent way, while protecting people’s confidentiality.

The Public Advocate meets with the President of the MHRT quarterly to discuss issues of mutual concern and new developments.
