Done By Law

Every day in Victoria, people are subject to compulsory treatment orders. Those subject to these orders lose many of their rights and freedoms and are treated even where they do not agree. These processes have stripped people of their autonomy and caused lasting trauma for many. Today's guest is Jake, a 28-year-old Gunditjmara and Gunnaikurnai man and member of the LGBTIQ community. Jake joins Done By Law to share his reflections on being subject to several compulsory treatment orders and what changes he hopes to see in this space to better respect people's autonomy. This episode includes discussion of some difficult topics.
