This year’s Mental Health Forum will be an exclusively in-person event, allowing attendees to fully engage with our sessions, workshops and networking opportunities. While we understand the value of virtual participation, we believe that the in-person experience will offer more in terms of connection and learning that are essential to this forum.

To preserve the integrity of the event, we will not offer online access or recordings of the sessions. We encourage all participants to attend in person to fully benefit from the live discussions, networking and workshops. We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne for this exclusive, live event.
