  Rubbish services and lack of empathy.

  First they harass my family looking for me, then they insist I have an appointment to see them. Go to the appointment then they call ambulance and police on me and escort me to hospital and advise I am going to the pysch ward for up to 28 days no prior warning. They called DHS and had my children removed from where I organised them to stay and out of my care. These Dr's have no incling about what goes on in our minds. They forced me to admit I was hearing "Voices" when in fact I was hearing "Noises" and assumed I had a mental disease and needed "help". Forced me to take medication at the hospotal which was turning me into a depressed zombie. My opinion?,,,,if they don't get their government funding, then they don't have a job. These Dr's and their "teams" give people a mental disease.

  Completely unable to assess mental health. They do not use any structured questionaire for assessment and so they miss vital information and are unable or unwilling to back up decisions with evidence. Interstingly they display no insight into the obvious flaws in their practice and instead engage in bullying behaviour when questioned as to the basis of their decisions. Expect no help here. I would classify involvement with this service as actively harmful.
