Mental Health
HETI provides mental health education and training for the NSW Health mental health workforce and for the wider health workforce on mental health related matters. It also works with sector partners for improved mental health and wellbeing.
Our work is guided by the lived experience of people with mental illness and their families and carers and adds to HETI’s holistic approach to health education and training.

HETI Awards
The HETI Awards in Psychiatry and Mental Health have two categories: one gives recipients the opportunity to undertake research; and the other is for psychiatry trainees to undertake specialist training in an area where little or no training is available.
They are funded for a maximum period of up to one year (part-time or full-time), covering salary and on costs to the employers of Award recipients.
