Further data development / collection required: | There are no relevant data sets at the national level. Seclusion data is not reported at the national level although patient days can be collected from either the Admitted Patient Care or Mental Health Establishments National Minimum Data Sets. No proxy solution is available. To construct this indicator at a national level requires separate indicator data to be provided individually by states and territories. National collection of seclusion data needs to be established through amendments to the NMDS processes. |
