The Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission is an independent statutory authority that has oversight of Victoria's public mental health and wellbeing system and holds the government to account for the performance, quality and safety of Victoria’s mental health and wellbeing system.
The MHWC’s role is to:
• Support people with lived experience to lead and partner in reform and play a key role in leading actions to reduce stigma related to mental health.
• Provide a system-monitoring and oversight role, handle complaints, conduct investigations, and promote effective complaint handling by Mental Health and Wellbeing Service Providers (Vic).
• Publish reports on the performance, quality and safety of the mental health and wellbeing system and progress towards improving mental health and wellbeing of Victorians.
