The distressing state of affairs for adults with disability and mental health issues in Victoria has been highlighted in the 2022-2023 Community Visitor Annual Report, presented in Parliament .
It underscores the grave consequences of staffing shortages, limited services, and inadequate accommodation options, leading to heightened risks of violence, abuse, and neglect of older Victorians with disability and mental health issues, and emphasises the adverse impacts of congregating and segregating individuals with disability and mental health issues.
The Community Visitor's Annual Report also included examples where good practices by staff led to residents building skills and making their own choices in their day-to-day life.
