Great Careers Start Right Here!

For over 25 years Mental Health Australia has advocated for mental health reform, and we continue to drive policy changes and proactively put mental health on the agenda. 

We have over 150 members, including service providers, professional bodies, organisations representing people with mental ill-health, family, carers and supporters, researchers and state and territory mental health peak bodies. 

As the national peak for mental health, we unite the mental health sector to present a cohesive voice to government, and provide practical policy solutions to influence decision-making, which in turn, improves the mental health system and the mental health of people in Australia. We work to strengthen the impact and influence of the mental health sector and embed a human rights approach across the mental health system.  

The views and expertise of people with lived and living experience of mental ill-health, family, carers and supporters, along with our member organisations, underpins our work.

We believe that by bringing together diverse perspectives across Mental Health Australia’s members, the community and governments, we will create greater change and more innovative solutions, than what any of us could do working alone. 

Work with us to play your role in creating a mentally health Australia. We offer a collaborative and inclusive work environment and generous not-for-profit salary packaging options. Mental Health Australia respects, values and encourages diversity and inclusion: we believe that diversity enriches our organisation and the communities we serve. We encourage people from all backgrounds and life stages to apply.
