Psychiatry in Australia
Abstract
In 1951 the government of Victoria took steps toward a major reform of its mental health services which set the example for comparable advances in other parts of Australia. In the following 16 years much has been done to overcome the serious deficiencies in the country's psychiatric services. The author concludes that greater federal participation is needed to coordinate present efforts and to close the existing gap between treatment of the physically ill and treatment of the mentally ill.
