Higher need in Western Australia

According to 2023 data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Western Australia has a higher-than-national rate of mental health distress, with just under 1 in 2 people experiencing mental health distress in their lifetime.

In our vast state, the challenge is immense. With service demand outpacing the mental health system capacity, access to services is difficult for people in regional WA. There are longer wait times and limited psychiatric beds available.

How we help

Whether it’s community-based mental health support services, residential recovery centres, men’s mental health, support for young people, life-saving support for people with eating disorders, hearing voices support groups, or simply reducing stigma, Richmind WA delivers.

I felt in really good hands, as a human being and as a professional. I was provided the support I needed with care, honesty, and empathy. I was listened to. I was given very useful advice in all aspects of my situation at the time. I was cheered up and I was made to laugh in a time of darkness. I couldn’t have wished for more supportive, knowledgeable, and kind support. You lightened me up and boosted my confidence.

I am very pleased with my progress along my recovery journey and I am still progressing each day. I would like to thank Richmind WA for the opportunity to achieve my personal goals and for providing an environment that has allowed me to improve my self-awareness.
