Our Training

For Staff, Clinicians and Organisations

Lived Experience Australia delivers professional training for mental health staff, clinicians, and organisations across Australia's private mental health sector. Our training supports meaningful consumer and carer inclusion in service delivery, helping organisations meet National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards while building genuinely collaborative relationships with the people they serve.

All training is designed and delivered by people with lived experience of mental health challenges. We work with hospitals, private practices, community mental health services, and peak bodies to develop practical approaches to consumer and carer engagement. Training can be delivered via Zoom or face-to-face depending on location and requirements.
