Facilitator:IMHA – Independent Mental Health Advocacy is a free, confidential and independent service. IMHA is a state-wide advocacy service and is one of a range of mechanisms established to achieve the supported decision-making objectives of the Mental Health Act 2014 (Vic). IMHA supports people who are receiving, or at risk of receiving, compulsory mental health treatment to make, and be involved in, decisions about their mental health assessment, treatment and recovery. Advocates are always guided by what the person wants, rather than what may be considered by others to be in their best interests. Advocates do not take action without a person’s consent.
