07 Oct 2025

Key focus areas of the amendments include:

Strengthening consumer rights
Improving access to culturally appropriate care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
Refining processes to enhance experiences for both consumers and staff

These reforms aim to ensure WA’s mental health laws are modern, effective, and support safe, high-quality care.

In addition to legislative changes, the Commission is also reviewing implementation requirements and other system improvements recommended in the Review Report.
