Please note that the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists does not have the statutory or legal authority to investigate complaints it receives about its members.  Instead, it refers such matters to the relevant statutory body such as the relevant Medical Board or Council which has been established to protect the community as well as both guide and govern the medical profession including its practitioners. 

In the first instance, the College recommends that you try and resolve any issues you may have directly with your treating psychiatrist. 

If you have a serious complaint please contact the relevant Medical Board or Council in your area, please find their details listed below:
