The Mental Health Commission of Western Australia is a government agency based in Perth, Western Australia, focused on planning and purchasing mental health, alcohol and other drug services across the state. Rather than delivering direct services itself, it procures care from public health providers, non-government organisations, and private providers to support Western Australians in need. In July 2024, the commission established a dedicated Office of Alcohol and Other Drugs to guide strategy and policy reform for alcohol and other drug governance, reflecting its role in system-wide reform and governance. The organization operates within the government administration sector and serves a broad client base including consumers, carers and families seeking mental health and substance use supports, with a view toward improving outcomes and wellbeing. Its footprint and activity are anchored in Western Australia, and it engages in partnerships and initiatives aimed at upgrading services and expanding access to supports for the community.
