Mental Health Commission
On 1 July 2024, the Mental Health Commission (Commission) launched its dedicated Office of Alcohol and Other Drugs (the Office) to strengthen and elevate alcohol and other drugs governance in Western Australia.

Purpose and priorities
The Office is responsible for informing, developing, and overseeing the State Government’s alcohol and other drugs strategy and system-wide strategic policy reform. It drives interagency coordination and strengthens intergovernmental and sector-wide relationships to achieve better outcomes for the Western Australian community.
Key priorities for the Office within its first year of operation will include working across government and with the wider sector to establish strategic priorities and plan for the development of a dedicated alcohol and other drugs interagency framework.
