The Queensland forensic mental health system is complex and can be a challenging subject on which to report. This resource provides information to assist journalists when reporting on matters relating to this system. It outlines some common myths, provides access to key facts and figures, and provides information on the main parts of the system.
Through accurate reporting, the media can play a very important role in increasing community understanding and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness and people living with a mental illness.
