Military and Emergency Services Health Australia (MESHA) is a profit-for-purpose research, training and programs centre that supports the mental health and wellbeing of current and former Australian Defence Force (ADF) members, current and former emergency service personnel and their families.
MESHA conducts co-designed and impact-driven research in priority areas of need. They collaborate with a range of Australian universities, mental health RTOs and Industry organisations and stakeholders to grow and provide interdisciplinary training, advice and models for workplace health and wellbeing.
They utilise a lived experience workforce training and development to promote effective access and delivery of programs. Industry based student, clinician and early career research training and supervision provides critical knowledge and skills to undertake high quality applied research, understand military and emergency service culture and families, and provide research and services in a trauma-informed way.
MESHA also delivers structured skills-based programs and interventions that are informed, developed, monitored and evaluated using research to improve wellbeing and quality of life of military and emergency services personnel and their families.
