We aim to improve interdisciplinary and collaborative mental health care practices
get involved
The Mental Health Professionals’ Network (MHPN) provides practitioners the opportunity to participate in our two interdisciplinary programs: MHPN practitioner networks and the National online professional development program.
Our new podcast MHPN Presents is now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and our website.
Our local networks connect practitioners across metropolitan, rural, regional and remote Australia.
Are you in a rural or remote area or do you have a specialty area? Online networks can help you connect with like-minded practitioners.
Our webinars feature leading experts in their field and cover a wide range of topical mental health issues.
Did you miss a live MHPN webinar? All our webinars are available to watch and download from the webinar library.
Establish a network in your local area with the support of MHPN.
