Australians vs (new) Australians?
Which one has more "mental problem" ?




Picture two people - One was born in Australia, the other in Asia.
Hopefully, both could be treated on a voluntary basis, taking into account their individual needs, preferences and capacity to consent.
However, our research published in British Journal of Psychiatry Open suggests this is not the case. In the largest study globally of its kind, we found Australians are more likely to be treated in hospital for their acute mental illness against their will if they are born overseas, speak a language other than English or are unemployed..
