Mental Health Commission

Commissioning Maturity Action Plan

The Mental Health Commission (Commission) has begun working on a Quality Improvement Reform, called the Commissioning Maturity Action Plan (CMAP), which involves identifying and implementing development opportunities to advance commissioning processes across the mental health and alcohol and other drug sectors.

With a focus on ‘commissioning as everyone’s business’, CMAP aims to strengthen and streamline commissioning processes to ensure we communicate and enable co-design and cultural responsiveness in engagement and meet the expectations of the community. 

The Western Australia (WA) State Commissioning Strategy is changing the way WA agencies commission services that emphasise community and person-centred needs in delivering sustainable services. 

For the Commission, this opportunity will ensure we are holistically identifying community needs, designing services collaboratively with other agencies, managing contracts with the best outcomes for consumers in mind, and improving the way we monitor and report to service providers.

Next Steps

The CMAP accomplishments will be shared on this website, along with early advice of changes and opportunities in the commissioning process.
