  • aged care providers
  • other health care providers, including alcohol and other drug, mental health and suicide prevention workers, and medical specialists
  • practice managers, receptionists, and support staff
  • academics and others working in the primary, secondary and tertiary care sectors.

Opportunities to get involved include joining working groups, participating in consultations or tender panels, speaking at education sessions, providing advice on resource development, mentoring and more.
