Welcome to Choice and Medication for Monash Health
This website aims to provide consumers, carers, families and staff of Monash Health with resources and information about psychotropic medicines, which are used to treat mental illnesses.
Monash Health recognises the importance of partnering with consumers in decisions about medications and ensuring that consumers, their carers and families have access to reliable and easy to understand information.
Monash Health has subscribed to Choice and Medication© with the goal of meeting changing consumer information needs, encouraging the active involvement of consumers in their own care, and facilitating shared decision-making. The resources and leaflets are available in a range of languages, font sizes, language proficiency and literacy levels to meet the needs of different consumers.
The information should be viewed as a tool to support staff, consumers and carers in achieving safe and effective medicines management.
Accurate and independent information about medicines helps facilitate discussion between consumers, their carers, families, doctors and other clinicians.
The resources do not replace approved consumer medicines information leaflets, but can be used in conjunction with these to promote high-quality patient care.
