Funded Activity Summary

Digital Mental Health Care and the Law. ‘Digital mental health care’ is advancing rapidly in Australia, outpacing legal regulation. This project aims to provide new understanding of the medico-legal issues and develop a nuanced set of principles to guide legal frameworks for digital mental health technologies. The project will expand Australia’s knowledge of digital modalities in mental health care to optimise support services, protect patient privacy, uphold user safety and minimise risk to individuals and communities. The research is expected to improve mental health care by assisting people with mental health conditions, health practitioners, government agencies, courts and the broader public to use digital mental health technologies safely and effectively.
