Relationship counselling for the NSW Public Psychiatrist… @cathywilcox.bsky.social is a national treasure. ❤️
Instead of burying our head in the sand and continuing to prop up a broken system, Psychiatrists are standing up to a gov that has shown no genuine interest in improving mental health care. #auspol #psychsky @theprojecttv.bsky.social

Locum psychiatrists cost double or triple the cost of permanent psychiatrists. There is no continuity of care and people struggle to get better. It's ineffective and it's wasteful. Without a plan to bring back our workforce, things will only get worse.
The human toll of our broken #mentalhealth system is immense and the economic cost of poor care is shocking. There aren't enough locum psychiatrists to fill the existing gaps, let alone the gaps to come when 201 more public psychiatrists resign this month. www.news.com.au/national/nsw...

1/14🧵An outstanding 13-part series in The Australian describes our critically overloaded and underfunded #mentalhealth system. See thread below. Australia has one of the world's best healthcare systems - but the plight of those with severe mental illness is "a stain on our nation". #psychsky #auspol
Congratulations!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Doctors would not take this sort of action lightly. Resignations by public sector psychiatrists are a sign of how dire the #mentalhealth workforce crisis has become in NSW. #medsky #psychsky #auspol

Our public mental health system is crumbling - after decades of neglect and underinvestment, clinicians are at breaking point and choosing to leave the system - without urgent action we cannot turn this tide. #auspol
