The Committee for the Convention Against Torture (CAT) has observed that Australia detains young people and adults who have disability and/or mental health disorders every year. Some are held indefinitely, and others cycle in and out of prisons and other places of detention. Many are subjected to traumatic, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. The National Forum on Cruel, Degrading and Inhumane Treatment of People with Disability and Mental Health Disorders in Australia's Places of Detention, bought together, for the first time, people with disability and mental health disorders, civil society, and government agencies to develop a plan to implement the Concluding Observations of the 2022 review of Australia's compliance with the Convention Against Torture.
