MHPOD Partnerships
The MHPOD Program has come a long way from implementing the MHPOD Learning Portal.
The MHPOD Program website provides an additional platform to the Learning Portal for providing content and engaging with Australia’s broad mental health and related workforces. More importantly, it allows us to connect people with other organisations that are developing a diverse range of relevant high-quality, evidenced-based content.
A key part of ensuring that MHPOD is sustainable and relevant is to create collaborative partnerships with other organisations who share our vision. These partners also strive to build the capacity of Australia’s mental health and related workforces by providing free access to high-quality learning material.
Our partnerships are fundamental to operating the MHPOD Program as a national resource. They are based on raising awareness of existing evidence-based best practice material around mental health where possible, rather than duplicating and potentially wasting resources.

Emerging Minds
For more than 20 years, Emerging Minds has been dedicated to advancing the mental health and emotional wellbeing of Australian infants, children, adolescents, and their families. Emerging Minds leads the National Workforce Centre for Child Mental Health (NWC), which delivers a range of innovative, free online resources for practitioners working in the health, social and community sectors.
Resources include e-learning courses, toolkits, podcasts, apps, webinars, workshops and more – specifically to support practitioners working with children, adults, parents and/or families. These resources are developed with the help and guidance of practitioners, researchers and child and family partners with lived experience wisdom.

Alfred State-Wide Mental Health and Gambling Harm Service Victoria
Gambling Minds is a multidisciplinary service specialising in assessment and treatment planning for people experiencing mental health issues and gambling harms across Victoria. Our team was established in 2010 in response to research that found a high percentage of patients presenting to Alfred Mental and Addiction Health were also experiencing harms from gambling. The service is funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation and is part of Alfred Mental and Addiction Health.
