We conduct national surveys across the mental health sector from time-to-time and the survey links are posted here.
The Chair of the Private Mental Health Consumer Carer Network (Australia) [Network], Ms Janne McMahon OAM, is a member of the Australian Government's Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) Expert Reference Group (BPDERG) established by the Federal Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, The Hon. Mark Butler MP. During the course of 2011-12, the BPDERG has been gathering information from the public and private sectors on policies and treatment options for people with BPD and their carers. As part of that work, the BPDERG asked its Carer Representative and Ms McMahon to gather information from consumers and carers via a survey to help inform the BPDERG’s discussions. Surveys of both Consumers and Carers were subsequently conducted online in 2011 under the auspice of the Network. After the two surveys were completed, two Primary Reports and a Summary Report were provided to the BPDERG. Copies of all three Reports are available below.
