Regulation of restrictive interventions in EDs, UCCs to change from April

When the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 (the Act) came into force in September 2023, regulation of restrictive interventions in mental health EDs and UCCs was deferred until 31 March 2024 to give staff more time to prepare for the operational changes. As of 1 April 2024, these settings will be aligned with the rest of Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing system.
