CAG’s: Consumer Advisory Groups

Consumer Advisory Groups are consumer groups who bring a voice at service level, local or regional level to advise mental health services on consumer needs and perspectives. CoMHWA hosts a directory, offers group resources and training, and works collaboratively with CAG’s to ensure consumer views are heard and taken forward at a statewide level.

Statewide CAG Network

This Western Australian, statewide network is for mental health CAG’s, CCAG’s and LEAG’s throughout the public and private mental health sector. Learn from other groups around WA, collaborate with members around important issues, create systemic change, and expand your network of peers across the state.

ALEAG: Aboriginal Lived Experience Advisory Group
