We are the central agency for public mental health, including lived experience, workforce development in Victoria. We support access to quality, contemporary workforce learning and development, and training. Approximately $26 million is invested annually in mental health related learning and development across Victoria. The CMHL is the central agency that connects, collects and shares the information, tools, resources and expertise created through this investment.

We identify, create, and support sharing of mental health learning and development resources across Victoria, allowing the sector to reduce duplication, grow leadership and promote high quality resources within a culture of collaboration. You can find training and resources in our  Learning Hub.

Our work can be described across four areas. They are:
- engagement & communication
- alignment & coordination
- evidence & quality
- innovation & systems change
Some of these areas were a higher priority during our establishment phase. As the CMHL grows, our work will increase across all four areas. Some examples of the work that we do within each area can be found in  this document.

We will continue to work with stakeholders across the sector to build mental health workforce capability, practice supports, knowledge translation and innovation.
