Mental Health Tribunal

The Mental Health Tribunal (Tribunal) is an independent decision-making body established by the Mental Health Act 2014 (WA) (the Act) to safeguard the rights of involuntary mental health patients in Western Australia.

In Western Australia, the Act permits psychiatrists to treat some mental health patients without their consent. The Act refers to these consumers as ‘involuntary patients’ (although we prefer the language ‘involuntary consumers’ and will use that term instead). A psychiatrist makes a consumer ‘involuntary’ by making an ‘involuntary treatment order’. Without adequate safeguards, the power to make involuntary treatment orders could be abused. Parliament created the Tribunal to protect consumers from potential abuse of the powers under the Act.

President

The Hon Dr Andrew Lu AM

Registrar and Executive Officer

Jeanene Rodrigues-Smith

Members

The Tribunal has a President and Tribunal members who make decisions under the Act. When the Tribunal holds hearings, it usually sits in panels of three.  One member of the panel is a lawyer, one is a psychiatrist, and the third is a community member. Tribunal members are independent statutory officers appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Minister. Details on the Tribunal Members can be found on the Mental Health Tribunal website.
