The Mental Health Advocacy Service (MHAS) exists to amplify the voices and protect the rights of people using, and seeking to use, mental health services in Western Australia.
The Mental Health Advocacy Service Annual Report 2023-24 is now available, providing an overview of Advocate activity and service delivery over this period.
MHAS can assist all people on involuntary treatment orders, those referred for psychiatric examination, those subject to custody orders and required to undergo treatment, psychiatric hostel residents and some people who are voluntary patients.
