National Mental Health Consumer and Carer Forum Expression of Interest

On behalf of the National Mental Health Consumer and Carer Forum (NMHCCF), the Mental Health Commission, in partnership with mental health consumer and family/carer organisations (the Selection Panel), is inviting applications from family/carer representatives to join the NMHCCF.

The NMHCCF is a key national, independent, mental health consumer and carer voice. Please note that consumer and carer representation at this level requires specific skills beyond an individual’s own personal experiences.

An overview of the work of the NMHCCF can be found on their website www.nmhccf.or.au and more specifically in their Operating Guidelines.

To be eligible to apply you must:

1. Be capable of reflecting the viewpoints and concerns of collective consumers or carers.
2. Be recognised as persons in whom consumers and carers and their organisations have confidence.
3. Have strong communication links with consumers/carers in WA so that you can provide the sort of representation that a diverse consumer and carer community requires.

More information about this paid participation role can be found in the Expression of Interest.

Applications can be made on the Application Form for the Western Australian Representative for the National Mental Health Consumer and Carer Forum.

Expressions of Interest close 5pm Monday 13 February 2023.
