In Queensland, the Mental Health Act 2000 
contains provisions for initiating involuntary assessment, authorising involuntary treatment, independent review of involuntary treatment and patient rights for people who suffer from a mental illness.
It provides processes for admission of mentally ill offenders from court or custody and decisions about criminal responsibility where the person has a mental illness or intellectual disability. It also introduces notification orders and non-contact provisions for persons such as family members and victims of crime, as well as other provisions addressing community safety.
