Carers of Forensic and Corrections Patients Network Meetings 2026
Date & Time
The Carers of Forensic and Corrections Patients Network is a series of monthly online meetings with family members and carers that have a loved one in the forensic and justice system.
The aim of the meeting is to provide support to carers and family members and to guide our advocacy. Anyone who has a person in the forensic and justice system can come to our online meeting.
This specialised network of carers helps MHCN in its advocacy because by listening to carers, MHCN can better represent and involve carers in our systemic advocacy. Since our first meeting in June 2021, we have provided key feedback on the views of carers on several different policy and legislative issues, including our submission to the Law Reform Commission Open Justice Review. We have also consulted with carers on the Draft NSW Framework for Forensic Patients with a Cognitive Impairment and provided feedback by carers on the need for greater support and reliable information.
