The 2023 Emerging Minds National Workforce Survey for Child, Parent, and Family Mental Health is now open.

The survey gathers important data on the capabilities among the Australian health, social and community services workforce by exploring knowledge, skills, confidence, challenges and practice in managing and responding to children’s mental health needs.

You don’t need to work directly with children or have a focus on mental health to take part.

Your participation is crucial to ensuring a wide representation across each group.

The survey results will help guide policy, advocacy and learning that addresses the future needs and demands of the Australian workforce. These results will also guide the development of our resources to support you in your work.

We invite health, social and community services practitioners from across Australia to participate whether you:

• have a focus on child clients, adult clients, or families; or
• don’t work directly with clients but do work in health, social or community service sectors.
