About Consultations
NSWCAG regularly visits towns across the NSW to hear about the experiences of people who use mental health services. This information is used to inform the government about what needs to be done to provide better support and services for people with mental illness in NSW.
The consultations are run quite informally, and provide mental health consumers with an opportunity to have their say about the mental health system – what they do and don’t like about the system, and what they think needs to change to ensure that all consumers experience equality in accessing services. Occasionally we will also host consultations which focus on specific issues, which will then influence NSWCAG’s advocacy work.
Information about NSWCAG’s upcoming consultations is updated regularly on the website, and also promoted through our network. If you, a consumer group, or your service is keen to host a community consultation in your local area, contact NSWCAG at

NSWCAG is currently looking at the issues affecting older people with mental illness, and would like information to inform our future submissions. We hope to speak to many consumers or their carers over the coming months. We will be organising consultations both in Sydney and in rural NSW, and would like to hear your experience or stories.
