WHAT WE DO

Networks

MHPN works with practitioners to establish and support interdisciplinary mental health networks across metropolitan, regional, rural and remote Australia. Interdisciplinary practitioner networks hold meetings to provide a forum for practitioners from a range of disciplines to connect, build relationships, provide peer support and improve referral pathways. Networks are self-directed, determining their own membership and content.

Visit the Networks page to find or start a local or online network and to find out more about our network coordinators.
