VMIAC Policies and Positions: As the consumer peak body in Victoria, VMIAC has developed some critical policy positions which provide a foundation for our work. These include our vision, mission and principles, our priorities and The Declaration which is a vision for an ideal future for the system. In addition, we have paper prepared for a number of Commissions and our reports on seclusion and compulsory treatment. This workshop will introduce you to these positions so that you are able to place your representation into context.
Presenters: Dr Chris Maylea and Maggie Toko
