We are very excited to announce the dates for Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) 2024! The week will take place from Saturday 5 October to Sunday 13 October, inclusive of World Mental Health Day on Thursday 10 October. 

Mark your calendars for a week of impactful events and initiatives – QMHW 2024 is set to be bigger than ever! 

In the coming months we’ll be sending QMHW news and updates, including information about the community grants program announcement in April.

We’re looking for people with lived experience of mental illness, or those who have cared for someone with mental illness, to be part of governance groups for QMHW 2024. There are multiple opportunities available, including serving as a lived experience representative for our Reference Group, Working Group and Grants Assessment Panel. Participants are remunerated for their time.

If you are passionate about mental health awareness and advocacy and want to help shape QMHW 2024, we encourage you to apply through the online application form. Successful applicants will be remunerated for their time.

You can read more about the roles available for lived experience representatives or carer representatives on our website. Applications close 4 March at 5:00pm, but please apply promptly as applications will be assessed as they come in.
