Peer work leaders from Queensland, Victoria and NSW and colleagues from the USA participated in an International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership match in Brisbane on 27 & 28 February 2017.
The Australian peer work leaders resolved to issue a ‘Statement of Intent’ that would communicate our intention to form a national professional association for the Australian mental health consumer peer workforce. We feel that such statement is necessary to provide the focus for national consultations to occur that will lead to the development of a peer-run organisation that can support and sustain the development of the peer workforce across all sectors.
