Mental Health Lived Experience Register

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (18 July 2014). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries):

1. As at 1 August 2014, the register's membership of 142 is comprised of 63 consumers and 33 carers, with 46 people identifying as both consumers and carers.

2. The Mental Health Unit, SA Health is the only agency which 'uses' the register for consultation. However, mental health agencies in South Australia are able to connect to the register for the purpose of information sharing, e.g. forthcoming workshops and support networks.
