Mental Health Victoria (MHV) is the peak body for Victoria’s mental health sector. We work with carers, consumers, clinical and support services, medical colleges, professional associations, unions, police, emergency services, universities, governments and many others involved in mental health.
MHV’s aim is to ensure that all Victorians living with mental illness can access the treatment and support they need to lead fulfilling lives in the community. To this end, we commission research and develop policy aimed at improving the mental health system as a whole and its many constituent parts. We bring together mental health system stakeholders through state and national events including conferences, summits and forums, and we auspice the Victorian Mental Health Policy Network and Service Reform Advocacy Network.
Mental Health Victoria engages in advocacy, the development of public policy, and the delivery of workforce development and training services that build individual, organisational and community capacity. Mental Health Victoria translates best evidence into practice for the benefit of its members and their staff, consumers and communities.
MHV played a key role in the advocacy leading up to the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System. MHV currently plays a key role in ensuring that key stakeholders are engaged in the reform process in order to deliver world class mental health services to all Victorians. MHV’s engagement and communications with internal and external stakeholders is critical in realising our organisational purpose.
As a senior policy advisor with Mental Health Victoria you will have a unique opportunity to shape the State’s mental health policy agenda and play a critical role in helping Mental Health Victoria to achieve its policy and advocacy goals, notably the successful implementation of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System.
