The importance of mental health to the wellbeing and productivity of our communities in Australia and New Zealand is becoming much better appreciated.  This awareness combined with gradual reductions in stigma around mental health conditions means the thirst for greater knowledge about mental health is rapidly increasing, both for the public and for professionals working in the field.

At the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association (ANZMH), we are committed to advancing the understanding of mental health for the benefit of all.  We believe in the power of sharing knowledge, spreading the word on progress and developments in mental health research and treatment, and supporting our dedicated and passionate industry professionals.

We want to give all mental health professionals the chance to become part of a growing community of practitioners, scholars and researchers, to expand their networks and share experience, new learnings, studies, and projects and passions with like-minded individuals.

We support the professional needs of the mental health community through:

• Providing mental health professionals and workers the opportunity to expand their knowledge through our annual conferences and symposiums
• Giving mental health workers and professionals a platform to share research, give project updates and voice opinions in all aspects of mental health
• Offering discounted professional indemnity insurance to assist mental health professionals in their career advancement
• Advocating for mental health best practice and improved mental health services
