about ocd WA

OCD WA Incorporated (known as OCD WA) was founded to ensure people living with Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (OCRDs) in Western Australia can readily access OCD-informed care.

The organisation was started when our Founder, Leigh received a late diagnosis of OCD and struggled to access treatment.
If a medical doctor couldn't figure it out, who could?

In record speed, OCD WA formed in 2023 to serve the 1 in 50 people living with OCD in Western Australia and beyond. We are a charitable organisation that relies heavily on the generosity of the WA community to provide much needed resources to those living with OCRDs, their support network, clinicians, educators and more.
