In 2009 ARAFMI conducted a survey of members and other carers about the implementation of the primary carer changes in the Mental Health Act 2007.
The purpose of this survey was to better understand the impact that the recognition of the role of Primary Carer in the Act has had on the treatment of carers by Mental Health Services in NSW. It also asked about the information carers would have liked to receive both before their loved one’s admission and before discharge back into the community. ARAFMI is repeating this survey today but here are the results of that original inquiry.
