CMHL proudly continues to coordinate the only statewide program of training for allied health graduates and practitioners transitioning to the Victorian public mental health clinical workforce.
AH ELTS is open to allied health clinicians of all disciplines who are in their first two years of employment in a clinical mental health role. Allied health educators who are employed to support entry-level clinicians are also encouraged to attend.
CMHL has coordinated AH ELTS since 2020, and since then there has been a significant increase in demand, with registrations for 2023 & 2024 events averaging 140+ participants. The large number of participants in combination with an online mode of delivery has required us to make adaptations to how this program is designed and delivered.
Facilitated training sessions
In 2024, AH ELTS is offering 7 half days of facilitated online learning featuring expert trainers from across Victoria’s mental health system delivering training on topics selected based on identified priority learning areas including;
- Introduction to the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022
- Working Together with Families, Carers and Supporters
- Medications in Mental Health
- Culturally Responsive Practice for Mental Health Professionals
- Integrated Care for Mental Health and Substance Use or Addiction
- Family violence, mental health and the safe inclusion of family and carers
- Working with Lived and Living Experience Workforces
Clinicians can register for as few or as many events as they choose. Registrations can be made via this link https://cmhl.org.au/2024-statewide-allied-health-entry-level-training-series
