The Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission’s inaugural annual report 2023/2024.

How we will exercise our powers and provide rigorous system oversight as set out in the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022

The Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022 sets out the Commission’s objectives and functions, providing us with the authority to explore issues, including those that are systemic.

Our monitoring and reporting functions require us to report on aspects of the mental health and wellbeing of Victorians and the systems that support them. This involves reporting at the levels of individual consumers, families, carers and supporters, the Mental Health and Wellbeing system and the Victorian community.
