Description

The Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan 2015-2025: Better Choices. Better Lives outlines a package of reforms to reshape the delivery of services to Western Australians with mental health, alcohol and other drug problems.

The document sets the agenda to create a more connected, high quality and person-centred system focused on the provision of holistic care and support. It provides a targeted and phased approach to investment over the period 2015-2025 to deliver the optimal mix and level of services to meet the needs of the current and future population. This includes an increase in hospital beds and specialist care, a shift towards the provision of more services in the community and enhanced programs and strategies that prevent mental illness, reduce drug and alcohol-related harm, and that intervene early to reduce the development of serious illness.
