Mental Health Professional Online Development (MHPOD) is an online professional development resource for Australia’s broad public mental health workforce.

MHPOD provides access to various learning and development resources through the MHPOD Website and the MHPOD Learning Portal. Its goal is to build on the capacity of Australia’s mental health and interrelating workforce to continue delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to Australians and improve their health and wellbeing in a supportive, safe and collaborative environment.

Content is developed to align with current national practice standards and reflect contemporary evidenced-based best practice regarding clinical and non-clinical subject areas relevant to public mental health workforce learning and development needs. ”

MHPOD’s target audience is diverse with content developed to address clinical knowledge and skills relevant to particular occupations such as mental health nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, psychiatrists and psychologists working in Australia’s public mental health system.

In addition, content is also applicable to other workers whose role includes addressing the mental health needs of individuals such as community-based mental health workers, lived experience workforce, other allied health workers and Aboriginal Health Workers.
