We are seeking Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples for appointment to our committees to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives and voices are embedded in the work of the National Scheme. There are vacancies on the following committees:

Practitioners provide important expertise and input from the psychology profession. Community members are active and engaged health consumers or advocates with lived experience and strong community connections who can represent the needs, perspectives and expectations of the community.
