Feedback, complaints and compliments

Psychiatrists who are members of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) in Australia and New Zealand must follow the highest standards of ethics and performance, including following the RANZCP's Code of Ethics.

Enquire or provide feedback about a psychiatrist

You can contact ranzcp@ranzcp.org for general enquiries, comments and feedback.

You can also use Find a Psychiatrist to contact a psychiatrist directly. Not all RANZCP Fellows choose to be listed in this online directory.

Make a complaint

If you are unhappy with the behaviour of a psychiatrist, or the standard of care you or someone else has received, you can make a complaint.

Check a psychiatrist's medical registration

Like all other health professionals, psychiatrists must be registered to practise.

You can check that a psychiatrist is registered:

• In Australia at the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency website.
• In New Zealand at the Medical Council of New Zealand website.
