Mental Health Professional Network (MHPN): Progress update

MHiMA Team - Friday, June 14, 2013

Are you a mental health professional working with immigrants and refugees?  A new partnership between Mental Health in Multicultural Australia (MHiMA) and Mental Health Professional Network (MHPN) is aiming to meet the unique mental health needs of immigrants and refugees. We are forming a network that will enable sharing and collaboration within and across states and territories. 

Find out how can you can benefit  here. The initial calls for registration and expression of interest in leadership have now closed. 

MHiMA will be providing more information in coming months.

The network is open to: 
  • general practitioners;
  • psychiatrists;
  • psychologists;  
  • mental health nurses; 
  • occupational therapists; 
  • social workers; 
  • allied health professionals; 
  • community practitioners involved in primary mental healthcare; and 
  • consumer and carer advocates. 
Network members will meet regularly (at least four times per year) to participate in education, clinical review, peer support, community development, collaboration and networking opportunities. They will also collaborate through online discussions and resource exchanges. Members will also have access MHPN Online Professional Development opportunities, including a series of regular, free webinars with panels of expert presenters participating in a facilitated case study discussion.   

The network will be managed by a national coordinator in collaboration with coordinators from states and territories, with support from MHPN and MHiMA project officers.
