Coordination of QMHW to transition to the Queensland Alliance for Mental Health from 2026
The Queensland Mental Health Commission recently announced that the coordination of Queensland Mental Health Week (QMHW) will transition to the Queensland Alliance for Mental Health (QAMH) from 2026, following collaborative planning with CheckUP.
It has been an honour and a privilege for CheckUP to coordinate QMHW, and we thank the Queensland Mental Health Commission for entrusting us with QMHW for the past eight years.
We have striven to ensure that QMHW was celebrated far and wide each year, and we are proud that the number of events held in Queensland grew from 200 in 2018 to a peak of 550.
We know that QMHW will continue to grow under the guidance of the Queensland Alliance for Mental Health – we wish them all the best.
Connect with QMHW on Facebook for further information about QMHW 2026.
