There is a range of public inpatient hospital services provided by the State Government to support, treat and care for people with mental health, alcohol and other drug issues. These services include child, youth, adult and older adult mental health units, mother and baby mental health units, eating disorder services, and inpatient mental health services for people in prison.

To access inpatient services, you will generally need a referral from a community mental health, alcohol and other drug service, or emergency department.

Additionally, in some emergency departments, there may be Safe Haven Cafes and Mental Health Observation Areas or units for people in mental health distress. These services aim to divert people in crisis from attending emergency departments.

To find inpatient mental health services, search in the My Services online directory. 

There are also private inpatient mental health units in Western Australia.
