The Queensland Transcultural Mental Health Centre has translated resources that are available in multiple community languages.
The fact sheets and brochures help patients, families and carers understand the Mental Health Act 2016. They include guidance on:
- advance health directives
- patient rights and responsibilities
- the role of support persons under the Act.
Health professionals can use the resource to help patients who speak languages other than English understand their treatment and care under the Act.
There is also a Glossary of mental health and wellbeing terms available on the Queensland Government website.
