IT’S OK TO
COMPLAIN
Mental Health Complaints Commissioner
Campaign • Digital • Print
In 2021, following the final report handed down by the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System, Victoria’s Mental Health Complaints Commissioner (MHCC) approached Design Democracy to help craft the It’s OK to Complain campaign.
-
The MHCC is an independent body that safeguards the rights of consumers, resolving grievances and recommending crucial improvements to Victoria’s public mental health services. The primary aim of the campaign was to improve consumer and service engagement with the MHCC. To achieve this, we developed a friendly and affirming visual identity that would communicate approachability. A warm colour palette, and attention-grabbing speech bubbles demystify the process of making a complaint, demonstrating that to speak up is to start a meaningful conversation.
