The Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Western Australia offers support, advice and treatment to young people and their families who are experiencing mental health issues. Children and families are referred to Mental Health by their treating therapist, specialist, GP, School or other community organisation.

CAMHS provides recovery-focused programs, and services for children from birth up until a person turns 18 years old.

We are in the community and in hospital. Families may receive services from one or more of these areas. Find out more about the areas within CAMHS here or take a look below.
