Mental health training

We fund several organisations to deliver mental health training on our behalf. Click here to see a list of those organisations.

Mental Health Professional Online Development program

We provide funding for the Mental Health Professional Online Development program, an evidence-based online learning resource for people working in mental health. The program is for nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists working in mental health in Australia, particularly those in their first two years of practice in Australian clinical mental health services. It is also expected that general practitioners (GPs), consumer workers, carer workers, Aboriginal health workers, and other allied health workers will also find it useful. The MHPOD Program is seeking to expand the audience to sit within the broader public health and human service system i.e. social services and those professions whose clientele are at risk of developing a mental illness.
