I have had a terrible experience with a psychiatrist and want to stop others from suffering. I am going to write about this experience in my blog and want to add links for my readers to useful sites where they can do a background check on a dr before they go to them. How does the public find out if a doctor has a bad record, has complaints against them or has been registered? Help, anyone? Are there government sites I can check?

I think the most effective thing you can go i submit a carefully worded complaint letter to whatever governing body licenses psychiatrists in Australia. I searched and searched on your blog and did not find your article about a bad psychiatric experience.
Bipolar 1 managed with a juicy cocktail of Lithium/Neurontin/Seroquel; a little Xanax and Ambien, lots of fish oil, supplements, exercize, and CBT therapy.

I also had a bad experience with one psychiatrist. I made a complaint to a psych nurse and they let me see someone else who diagnosed me with OCD rather than psychosis.
