Cert IV Mental Health Peer Work

Improving employment outcomes for the Peer Workforce through classroom delivery of a nationally recognised vocational qualification.

About the scholarship

Each year CoMHWA and North Metropolitan TAFE work in partnership to offer 30 people with lived experience of mental/emotional issues (as either a consumer or a carer) a scholarship to study the Certificate IV Mental Health in Peer Work. These scholarships are generously funded by the Mental Health Commission (WA).

This great initiative builds capacity in the Peer workforce and contributes to improved employment outcomes for Peer workers and the consumers and carers they work with.

Scholarships for 2027 are open now! Please download our information pack below – the link to complete the application can be found on the last page, so please read the content carefully.
