If you are providing in-patient mental health services to people with a mental illness or mental disorder, your facility must be registered as an approved centre by the Commission. It is an offence under the Mental Health Act 2001 to operate an in-patient centre that is not registered.
The Commission was established in 2002. We are an independent body and our functions are set out in the Mental Health Act 2001.
