"I feel dismissed"

(as a service user),

I wrote a story on care opinion last year about being discharged because I have the NDIS. The story goes they took me on for another 3 months and then discharged me once again. Recently I had a hospital stay once again because I was getting visions of harm to self and I got re referred to city east mental health to get the help I needed I first requested to get referred to another catchment because the trauma they have caused me in the past.

Fast forward to today as the hospital referred me back to city east to get the help I need and myself requesting another referral outside my catchment due to the trauma they caused me. I got a response via text saying they will not be taking my referral as I got the NDIS and will not be referring me outside my catchment zone to which myself the aboriginal liaison and the hospital requested. I know I need the help from a community mental health team but felt dismissed because of my history with city east. And feel like I can’t get treatment I need because I have the ndis.
