The Queensland Mental Health Commission (the Commission) was established on 1 July 2013 by the Queensland Mental Health Commission Act 2013 (the Act).

The Commission’s role under the Act is to drive ongoing reform towards a more integrated, evidence-based, recovery-orientated mental health, alcohol and other drugs, and suicide prevention system in Queensland.

The Act sets out the Commission’s functions, which underpin the Strategic plan and program of work.
