NSW Public Mental Health System on Brink of Collapse Amid Mass Resignations

ABC Health on MSN.com

The New South Wales public mental health system is facing a crisis, with around two-thirds of psychiatrists set to resign due to poor working conditions. A former NSW psychiatrist, who left the public sector last year, has spoken out about the need for urgent reform to address the growing mental health workforce shortages and prevent a collapse of the system. The mass exodus of psychiatrists is expected to have a significant impact on mental health services, including increased wait times and reduced access to treatment. Mental health reform and workforce development are critical to addressing this issue.
