“They can promise a lot of things before an election but we’re going to absolutely hold them to account”

The Hobart Clinic has been fined, according to patient Maddison.

Join us as she shares her most recent experience at the Clinic and her struggle to navigate our mental health system while living with bipolar and borderline personality disorder. 

Maddison is speaking out for the nurses who can't, and you can too.

A dangerous combination of psychiatrists quitting overnight, nurses under immense strain and bullied into silence by their employer, has led to patients being discharged, despite desperate pleas for ongoing help. 

Take a moment to hear our latest Hobart Clinic patient, Jill's, terrifying story and join us in amplifying our collective voice.

Cheryl's heart has been in aged care for a solid three decades. She kicked things off as a cook in Nazareth House, then rocked the roles of a laundry worker, a cleaner, a carer, and now a leisure and lifestyle officer. She's a battler for workers' rights, a mentor for the young guns, and a lively thorn in management's side.
