Voices for Change – Systemic Advocacy Development Learning Series

Voices for Change is a co-led initiative by Mental Health Carers NSW and Mental Health Carers Australia. This facilitated learning series includes six interactive 2-hour Zoom sessions to support the development of lived experience advocates in mental health, with a focus on systemic change.

Each session introduces a core systemic advocacy topic and provides a supportive, facilitated space for learning and reflection. Participants will build confidence in advocacy roles through trauma-informed practice, co-design, and participation in advisory groups, while developing skills to use lived experience to influence policy, systems, and more inclusive mental health services.

EOI submissions will close at 5pm on Monday February 23rd, 2026.
