The release of the final report into the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System has been welcomed by the state’s premier legal body on a “red-letter day” that offers “new hope” to the community.
The Law Institute of Victoria (LIV) president Tania Wolff said that as a lawyer who works with those who are suffering from mental health and addiction in the community and who have been “caught up in the revolving door of the criminal justice system”, the release of the report has given renewed hope moving forward.
