Shaping a strong future for mental health in Queensland.

Queensland Alliance for Mental Health is the peak body for mental health service providers and the wider mental health community in Queensland. Through advocacy and support, we foster better outcomes for people with mental health issues.

Advocating for a system where we put Wellbeing First

Wellbeing First is a call to fundamentally shift the focus of the mental health ecosystem from managing illness to actively supporting wellbeing. It argues the Community Mental Wellbeing Sector is best placed to support population-wide wellbeing, through programs that provide practical support early in a person’s mental distress. The Community Mental Wellbeing Sector must be regarded as the bedrock of the system and supported appropriately. Join the fight to put #wellbeingfirstqld

Who We Are

The Queensland Alliance for Mental Health is the peak body for community mental health and wellbeing organisations throughout the state. We represent more than 100 organisations, which support thousands of Queenslanders experiencing mental distress and mental ill-health. This sector specialises in practical social support, providing many people with services early in their episode of mental distress, and preventing further deterioration in their mental health.

Member of Community Mental
Health Australia

QAMH is a member of Community Mental Health Australia (CMHA), a coalition of the eight state and territory peak community mental health organisations. CMHA provides a unified voice for over 800 community-based, non-government organisations who work with mental health consumers and carers across Australia.

Working to Make a Difference

Share Experience

QAMH provides knowledge and expertise, promotes best practice, and forms partnerships to develop the community mental health and wellbeing sector.

Facilitate Connection

QAMH builds relationships with and between member organisations, and with other elements of the mental health system, to promote awareness and growth of the sector.

Foster Innovation

QAMH works to share the latest thinking and models of service delivery in the community mental wellbeing sector with members and establish research relationships to evaluate and validate these innovations.

Lead and Influence

QAMH advocates for a future where community mental health and wellbeing organisations form the bedrock of the mental health system in Queensland. We want preventative, person-led services that provide early intervention support, to be at the forefront of a new reality, where population-wide wellbeing and the mental wealth of the state is the priority.
