My experience was I had a full plan, but deliberately avoided disclosing the legal triggers, expecting the law would apply on two levels: (a) the psychologist did not meet the threshold to breach privacy and (b) even if scheduled the legal requirement to only provide treatment in the least restrictive environment would ensure I am released given I have a demonstrable level of compliance in the community. What actually happened was the psychologist violated the law by telling them I had unusually strong legal knowledge of the Mental Health Act and as such I would say whatever is required to not be scheduled. So I got scheduled on information they should not even have, and did not assess the minimally restrictive criteria competently because they had reason to believe I was unusually knowledgeable of the legislation. These days I have a mental health lawyer ready to call the moment these people look at me the wrong way and I'll send him in. My level of cooperation with mental health will be zero in the future. At least in NSW the requirements to be scheduled are not strictly followed, so having a lawyer on retainer is the easiest way of dealing with these lawless do-gooders.
