The Census is Now Open

Take part in the first-ever National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Lived Experience (Peer) Workforce Census now!

The National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Lived Experience (Peer) Workforce Census is now open and we invite all Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Lived Experience (Peer) workers and volunteers to take part. Your insights will help build a clearer national picture of this workforce and highlight what people need in their roles.

Taking part in The Census is essential for all Peer Workers who aim to create and develop future Peer Work Programs and develop a stronger and more sustainable Peer Workforce. These findings will support better planning, stronger recognition, and improved support for Lived Experience (Peer) work across Australia.

This Census has been developed with extensive input from the national lived experience workforce, specialist organisations, First Nations and community-led groups, peak bodies, and government partners, to ensure the questions reflect the realities of peer work.

The Census only takes about 15 minutes and closes soon on the 18th of April.
We highly recommend all Peer Workers who wish to have their voice heard take part in The Census as soon as possible to ensure they do not miss this opportunity
