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.
Have you read the draft Workforce Strategy?
The draft Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Strategy 2024 – 2029 is a culmination of over 12 months work with the sector. Extensive state-wide public consultation with the expertise of Lived Experience of both consumers and carers, academia and key stakeholders occurred between March and June 2023. We’ve used all this knowledge to structure this strategy into 19 key priorities.
QAMH acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, learn and work and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to them and their cultures; and to Elders past, present and emerging.
