About the event
Peer-to-Peer Encouragement for VMHPAA Members
The Australian VET Conference 2026 brings together educators, training organisations, policy leaders, and industry stakeholders to explore the evolving landscape of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Australia.
For VMHPAA members, this conference sits directly within our professional ecosystem. Many vocational mental health practitioners operate within the VET sector as trainers, assessors, supervisors, or curriculum contributors supporting the development of future counsellors, community workers, and mental health practitioners.
Events like this provide insight into the broader policy and workforce environment shaping how vocational qualifications are delivered, regulated, and recognised across Australia. Topics often include skills development, industry partnerships, training innovation, and the role of vocational education in addressing workforce shortages.
Attending offers members the opportunity to:
Understand emerging policy directions affecting vocational qualifications
