Introduction

Carers WA is consulting with WA carers, on behalf of the WA Mental Health Commission, to assist in informing the development of the WA Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs Strategy 2025-2030 (the Strategy).

Your feedback is vital to ensuring the Strategy meets the needs of carers, individuals, families, communities and the sector.

Feedback can be provided through:
- This survey
- Or through alternate consultation methods on the Mental Health Commission website here.

Respondents to Carers WA’s survey will have the opportunity to enter their details to be in a draw for one of two $50 Prezzie gift vouchers.

This survey will be open for responses until Wednesday, 3rd December 2024.

The aim and purpose of the Strategy
The WA Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs Strategy 2025-2030 will aim to improve leadership, accountability, collaboration and coordination within mental health and alcohol and other drugs systems.

The Strategy will also aim to:
- Take a person-centred approach
- Have a focus on prevention, early-intervention and community-based services
- Have an emphasis on smooth transitions across systems and services, and equitable access to care.

The Strategy will be used to guide the mental health and alcohol and other drugs systems towards transformative change across services.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or are seeking help with mental or emotional stress, we encourage you to contact Australia's helpline specialists that operate 24/7, built to support everyone, all year round.
