The successful intern will support the Western Australian Association for Mental Health's Communications Officer to promote the work of the association, primarily upcoming training and events.

The Western Australian Association for Mental Health (WAAMH) is the peak body for community mental health in Western Australia.
Their membership comprises community-managed organisations providing mental health services, programs or supports and people and families with lived experience of mental health issues and suicide, with whom WAAMH engages in genuine partnership. We also engage with a wide network of collaborative relationships at a state and national level with individuals, organisations and community members who share our values and objectives.
WAAMH influences community attitudes, mental health priorities, policy and practice through mental health promotion, systemic advocacy and development so Western Australians have the rights, resources and support needed for mental wellbeing, recovery, and citizenship.
