Our Affiliates
Richmond Fellowship of WA (RFWA) works with a variety of organisations - public and private; local, regional, statewide and international - to help develop the mental health sector and the broader social services sector. Through these partnerships, we continue to promote our view that people can and do recover from mental ill health.
These affiliates often work with RFWA on events, consumer issues, and on supporting the consumers and professionals to improve their positions in the community.
RFWA actively supports the Consumer movement in Western Australia. It houses and auspices the Consumers of Mental Health WA (CoMHWA) and continues to auspice the Lotterywest-supported Hearing Voices Network Australia.
We maintain our relationship with Richmond Fellowship network of agencies around the world through our involvement in Richmond Fellowship Australia and ASPAC.
