Kindly read through the Aims and Operations of this newly established network before completing EOI.
The Riverland Mental Health Professionals’ Network brings together mental health professionals from the Riverland region of South Australia (our area will encompass - Riverland locations including Berri, Renmark, Barmera, Loxton, and Waikerie) to connect, share insights, and collaborate in a safe and supportive environment.
The network convenes bi-monthly on a hybrid basis, offering both in-person and online participation to make engagement easy and accessible for everyone.
We’re excited to welcome you to this Network! This short survey will help us understand your preferences and needs so we can co-design a meaningful and effective network. Participation is voluntary and your individual responses will remain confidential. Aggregate data will be shared in order to inform future network development and events.
