ABC Health on MSN.com

The New South Wales public mental health system is facing a major crisis as approximately two-thirds of psychiatrists in the public sector are set to resign from today onwards. This mass exodus has sparked concerns about the system's ability to provide adequate care, with a former NSW psychiatrist who left the sector last year emphasizing the urgent need for reform to address staffing shortages and workload issues, highlighting the importance of mental health services and the need for healthcare reform to prevent a complete collapse of the system, which could have severe consequences for mental health support and treatment in NSW.
