Applications are open now for 2020 enrolment for the Applied Mental Health Studies courses for nursing, allied health, educators, aged care workers and other mental health professionals, and for Psychiatric Medicine courses for psychiatry registrars, general practitioners and rural and remote practitioners.

They may also choose to enrol in non-award courses which can be studied either as standalone units with students completing assessments, or as professional development with no assessments.
“Studying at HETI Higher Education has given me a whole lot more confidence in
working with children and families, as well as court staff and the work I do in the mental
health advocacy space. It means I can make a real difference to families. And that’s really
what it’s all about,” Louise Salmon Senior Family Consultant,

HETI AND COUNTRY UNIVERSITIES CENTRES (CUC) INTERPROFESSIONAL SEMINARS
HETI and the CUC held an interprofessional seminar last month in Broken Hill on the topic of understanding protective factors that help young Aboriginal people deal with mental illnesses.
The session titled ‘Through the eyes of our people’ was delivered by Corina Kemp, Aboriginal Mental Health Drug and Alcohol (MHDA) Clinical Leader, Far West Local Health District MHDA Service and Marie Kelly, Rural Adversity Mental Health Program Coordinator, Far West Local Health District and focused on Adolescent Mental Health in rural and remote communities.
The event was broadcast from Broken Hill to Country Universities Centres at Goulburn, Grafton, Griffith, Narrabri and Moree and reached an audience of approximately 60 clinicians and health students via video conference.
The CUC’s aim to improve equity in higher educational opportunities for rural and remote families by supporting students in regional communities to participate in tertiary education and achieve their academic aspirations continues to be met via these seminars.
“As a person living in a rural town and being non indigenous, it is important to understand
the different concepts of culturally appropriate Adolescent mental health care,”
