The New South Wales Institute of Psychiatry (NSWIOP) is a major provider of continuing professional education in mental health in Australia. The Institute was established by an Act of Parliament in 1964 and through its Board is directly responsible to the New South Wales Minister for Health. It is a statutory body independent of any individual university or teaching institution. The Institute provides training for health care professionals, psychiatrists-in-training, consumers and staff of non-government organisations, general practitioners and the public. Many of our students work with children, adolescents and their families, people affected by mental illness, aged persons, people of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those with problematic substance use. In addition to fostering and developing mental health education, the Institute plays an active role in initiating and encouraging research into all aspects of mental health.
Hunter New England
www.hnehealth.nsw.gov.au/hnet
The Hunter New England Mental Health Psychiatry Training Program (HNET) is the only regional based psychiatry training program in Australia and New Zealand. Because it is a mid-sized program there are sufficient trainees at each level to make progressing through the training requirements sustainable, which is often difficult with small programs, but still retains its collegiate and “personal-touch” nature, which is often lacking in large training programs. HNET operates under the auspices of both the RANZCP and NSW IMET which funds its operation.
