摘要

The Western Australian government recently released a draft mental health bill for public comment. Disappointingly, the proposed legislation fails to adequately protect the human rights of West Australians living with mental illness. In this issue of the Journal we examined similar draft bills released in Tasmania and Victoria (Callaghan and Ryan, 2012). In both these jurisdictions, lawmakers are modernising mental health legislation in the light of a new recognition of the human rights of mentally ill people. In both jurisdictions the proposed legislation would only allow compulsory treatment of a psychiatric patient if the patient lacked decision-making capacity. Psychiatric patients who retained decision-making capacity would make their own treatment decisions just as patients with general medical illnesses do.
