Review of Barwon Health

This is for the ACCESS team not the hospital.

This is for the ACCESS team not the hospital.
I called today, all I mentioned was my name and tried to tell them what I was calling for. I was cut off and redirected to an unmanned line. That line said to leave my number and they ll call back asap. That was 2:30pm. It s now 11:25pm. I m still waiting. And still in crisis which I haven t had help with thanks to these people over the past month. I m getting worse and worse. I thought that they were mental health professionals. They are not. Get rid of ACCESS. They clearly don t know how to treat patients with an acute mental illness and is highly stigmatised and judgemental. Let the frontline people you speak to be psychiatrists or psychologists.
