Empowering Practitioners, Transforming Lives
Partner with VMHPAA to Support Australia's Mental Health Workforce
At the Vocational Mental Health Practitioners Association of Australia (VMHPAA), we believe that professional growth is essential to delivering ethical, effective, and community-focused mental health support.
​
To ensure our members have access to high-quality ongoing education, we invite training organisations, colleges, and corporate educators to apply for Approved Provider status via our Corporate Memberships - either Gold or Platinum.
​
Becoming an Approved Provider recognises your commitment to delivering professional development that aligns with VMHPAA’s standards - and connects you directly with Australia’s leading community of vocational mental health practitioners.
Who Should Apply?
Approved Provider status is ideal for:​
-
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)
-
Private education companies
-
Colleges and academies offering mental health or counselling programs
-
Organisations running a series of CPD workshops, seminars, or courses
-
Employers providing in-house training options for practitioners
Our Expectations
Approved Providers must demonstrate:
​
-
Alignment with vocational mental health practice and principles
-
Delivery of evidence-based, ethical, and professionally relevant training
-
Commitment to participant learning outcomes and skills development
-
Qualified facilitators or trainers with experience in the mental health sector
Important Distinction
Approved Provider status covers your organisation and a range of your educational activities, via our Corporate Memberships - either Gold or Platinum.
If you wish to seek recognition for a single workshop, seminar, or course, you should apply instead for individual course approval via our Corporate Memberships - either Bronze or Silver.
