ICYMHS Events Calendar

The Department of Health has commissioned new training opportunities for the expanding workforce in Area Mental Health Services - Infant, Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health services (e.g. CAMHS/CYMHS), recognising that there are a large number of new recruits that will require access to training and development.  

The Victorian Department of Health is currently funding registrations for clinicians who work in Victorian Area Mental Health Service clinical Infant, Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health services (e.g. CAMHS/CYMHS).

This is available ONLY to Victorian Area Mental Health Services: clinical Infant, Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health.

Program details
