Mental Health Professionals’ Network

About us

MHPN’s purpose is to support excellence in multidisciplinary mental health care.

Funded by the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care since 2008, we are a unique initiative targeted at improving multidisciplinary mental health practice and collaborative care within Australia. We support mental health practitioners through our nationwide practitioner networks and our free online professional development program.

Network meetings provide a forum for practitioners from a range of disciplines to connect, build relationships, provide peer support and improve referral pathways.

We also produce a series of webinars and podcasts about topical mental health issues. Each webinar features a panel discussion of a case study by leading experts from a range of disciplines. Our podcast, #MHPNPresents features local and international mental health experts as they discuss diverse topics relating to mental health and wellbeing.

Our strategy

MHPN supports multidisciplinary mental health care by:

  • Connecting primary care practitioners to improve collaboration and service delivery

  • Advocating for best practice, evidence-based models of care within primary care

  • Encouraging teamwork and knowledge sharing across all mental health professions

  • Influencing system and policy improvements to enhance multidisciplinary care.

Key to meeting these purposes is engaging mental health and health practitioners in our two core programs: the National Networks Program and the Online Professional Development Program, consisting of  webinars and podcasts.
