What is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker?

Logo of the Association of Social Workers (AASW) with text 'AASW Accredited Mental Health Social Worker'

An AMHSW is a university-trained health professional who has completed extra specialist training in mental health. AMHSWs are one of only three allied health professions that Medicare recognises for mental health support — alongside psychologists and occupational therapists. They look at the whole person, not just the problem. Kerrianne is a proud AASW.

30 hours of ongoing training every year
