Our Members are Important to Us
The Queensland Alliance for Mental Health (QAMH) is the peak body for the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Sector in Queensland.
We represent more than 100 organisations and individual members delivering community mental health and wellbeing services across the state. QAMH works for our members so they can provide better mental health support for all Queenslanders.
Our Vision for Queensland
QAMH’s vision is laid out in Wellbeing First. It paints a future where the mental health system moves from managing illness to actively supporting mental wellbeing. It argues the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Sector is best placed to support population-wide wellbeing, through programs that provide practical support early in a person’s mental distress.
Workforce Strategy Launch
We are thrilled to announce that the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Strategy officially launched on 2 October 2024. This initiative, developed in partnership with Queensland Health, is the first of its kind in Australia specifically targeting our sector. The strategy addresses the unique challenges faced by our workforce, including qualifications and training, attraction and retention, and system enablers. With 19 key priorities, this strategy aims to revolutionise our approach to workforce development and support.
QAMH acknowledges and pays deep respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters across Australia. We honour their Elders past and present, whose knowledge, leadership, and cultural practices have sustained these lands for millennia.
