Online Help guides you to:-
Anyone can use our Online Help service. We encourage family members, carers and friends of people with mental health challenges to use our Online Help. Referring organisations can also use it to find help for their clients.
Mental Health Tribunal Representation
The Mental Health Legal Centre (MHLC) provides Mental Health Tribunal hearing representation. We believe that everyone has a right to representation and should be empowered and supported throughout the process.
Advance Statement of Preferences
We can help you to prepare an advance statement of preferences. We work with consumers to understand what treatment and other support is wanted and to ensure that this is expressed clearly in their advance statement of preferences.
MHLC offers free legal advice on a range of matters to people experiencing mental health conditions. Our administrative intake line 9629 4422 is open Monday to Friday 9 am – 4:30 pm.
Inside Access provides civil legal and some financial counselling support services to people in Western Plains Correctional Centre, Dame Phyllis Frost Centre, Tarrengower Prison and Ravenhall Correctional Centre.
The MHLC Partners in Community program began with the Bolton Clarke Homeless Person Project and has since expanded into several other health services. This program has successfully worked together to deliver an effective, responsive and high quality health justice project (‘HJP‘). This HJP provides increased access to justice and improved outcomes for a vulnerable cohort of Victorians, including people experiencing psychosocial disability.
