WA releases 5-year strategy to reshape mental health and alcohol and other drugs services

23 Apr 2026

The plan is designed to strengthen how mental health and alcohol and other drug services are delivered across the state, with a focus on supporting individuals, families, and communities in their wellbeing.

It outlines a series of long-term goals supported by five key pillars. These areas highlight the importance of prevention, early intervention, and expanding community-based care, while still maintaining access to specialist services when required.

Each pillar includes priority focus areas that will guide future programs and initiatives over the life of the strategy.

The strategy was developed following consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including people with lived and living experience, carers, families, and communities across Western Australia.

Officials say the approach aims to ensure future services better reflect community needs and improve access to care across the state.
