BN Health Forum Brisbane: Mind Matters – The Intersection between Mental Health and the Law

Mental health has become one of the defining challenges across the healthcare, legal, and insurance sectors. As clinical presentations grow more complex and psychological injury claims rise, professionals are being called upon to navigate new demands with greater sensitivity, clarity, and collaboration.

This year’s Health Forum will explore the shifting intersection of mental health, medicine, and the law. In a powerful and personal highlight, we’ll hear from a high profile mental health advocate who will share their lived experience of navigating a long-term mental health crisis - offering a vital perspective on the human realities behind our systems and policies. Building on this, across two informative legal sessions our health law experts will examine key challenges for the healthcare sector in this area, including high-profile cases and the rise in psychiatric injury claims, offering insights into claims management and risk reduction in an evolving legal landscape.

Together, our speakers will offer deep insights into what’s working, what needs to change, and how different parts of the sector can collaborate to deliver more compassionate, sustainable mental health outcomes.

BN’s Health Forum is a must-attend event for professionals working in or alongside healthcare and life sciences who want to stay up-to-date on the trends and issues affecting the sector. But be quick, registration is free and places are limited.

Following the final session, attendees are invited to join us for drinks and canapés to continue the conversation with their industry colleagues.

Stay tuned as we reveal this year’s incredible line-up of speakers over the coming weeks!
