The OMF provides one approach for reviewing mental health, alcohol and other drugs outcomes in the Western Australian population. Consideration of specific social and emotional wellbeing outcomes is also important for Aboriginal people and communities, as well as the outcomes achieved through services. By considering outcomes, meaningful insights can be generated on how to improve outcomes for people, families and communities, and identify areas for future focus.

The OMF was informed by: 

• national and international frameworks
• latest evidence and best practice
• consultation with community, lived experience and service delivery experts 
• a Delphi Expert Consensus Study.
