The Board

The Board of IAAMHP is the primary governing body of the International Association of Accredited Mental Health Professionals (IAAMHP).

Responsibilities of the Board:

  • Set the strategic direction and vision for IAAMHP
  • Provide oversight of organisational governance and compliance
  • Appoint and support key committees and professional colleges
  • Approve national standards, ethical codes, and accreditation frameworks
  • Ensure transparency, accountability, and alignment with IAAMHP’s values of equity, inclusion, and professional excellence
  • Appoint office bearers and manage committees
  • Board members may also serve as members of committees

The Board is composed of professionals from diverse mental health disciplines as well as other sectors such as IT, accounting, and legal. It can also include members of the public who have a strong interest in mental health and advocacy. Together, they work collaboratively to promote fair recognition and support for all similarly qualified practitioners in Australia and internationally.

Interest Groups

Interest Groups

Interest Groups are member-led committees focused on specific mental health practice areas (e.g., Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Culture and Community). They operate independently within their scope, managing their activities and committees.

Key points:

  • All IAAMHP members can form Interest Groups if they meet regulations.
  • Each Interest Group must have at least 5 committee members.
  • Interest Groups manage their own activities relevant to their focus.
  • They are not part of the Main Committee but collaborate with IAAMHP to achieve common goals.
