Medical Health Values:
WACHS provides high quality treatment, together with culturally secure patient care, for people experiencing mental health problems. Some core areas within this scope include alcohol and substance use disorders in rural and remote Western Australia.

At WACHS, we recognise the value and importance of good mental health for people living in rural and remote areas.

We understand the importance and potential impact this can have on quality of life, and the ability to contribute as ongoing members of rural communities.

Mental health problems are now the second highest disease behind cancer in Western Australia.

Nationally, suicide is the leading cause of death of our young people – accounting for one-third of deaths of Australians aged 15 to 24.

These figures are even higher in Aboriginal communities and other vulnerable groups.

The WACHS Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019 – 24 provides a five-year framework and plan to strengthen the integration of mental health care within all regional health services, ensuring a seamless journey for the consumer and their family.

It promotes integrated and supportive person-centred care which provides equitable access to high quality and contemporary mental health care, close to home and on country.

Successfully implementing the Strategy will be an iterative process across all regions. It relies on strong and collaborative leadership, innovation, and active strategic partnerships within, and external to WACHS. The regional mental health teams are supported by the WACHS Central Office Mental Health directorate.
