The Mental Health Compliance Gap
The difference between reconstructing evidence and being review-ready.
Without FormaOS
Reviewers request consumer-rights and complaints evidence, scattered across shared drives, email, and spreadsheets
Worker screening check expired weeks ago, discovered only when the register is requested
A reportable incident not escalated within required timeframes, exposure to enforcement and harm
Seclusion or restraint applied without current authorisation, no documented review on file
With FormaOS
Continuous evidence chain across every NSMHS standard, review-ready export in one click
Automatic screening expiry alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days, zero workers operating without clearance
Reportable-incident workflow with notification timers and submission status tracking
Restrictive practices register linked to authorisations and scheduled review cycles
