NorthWestern Mental Health NWMH offers a highly successful training program, with the greatest choice of training experiences in both basic and advanced RANZCP training areas, as well as multiple subspecialty areas. We have well-established training and exam support for our trainees and work hard to produce well rounded psychiatrists who have the opportunity to experience areas of personal interest throughout their training years.
NWMH is the mental health arm of Melbourne Health and provides comprehensive hospital-based, community and specialist services to youth, adults and aged people across northern and western Melbourne. It is one of the largest publicly funded providers of mental health services in Australia, plus operates in partnership with other health services in the west and north of metropolitan Melbourne.
Across the NWMH, we employ around 130 Junior Medical Staff JMS, most of which are local RANZCP Registrars in all years of training, including positions within Acute inpatient unit, integrated adult community mental health teams through the following services:
- Inner West Area Mental Health Service AMHS – based at Royal Melbourne Hospital

The Orygen Youth Mental Health service and Aged MH services are also based in our area and have general and specialised positions for basic and advanced trainees.
The training program at NWMH has outstanding success in preparing Registrars for the College exams and has consistently achieved a high pass rate. We also have close links to the University of Melbourne with the potential for research and teaching opportunities.
NWMH takes the support of our Registrars and HMOs very seriously and have developed programs to ensure that our JMS feel able to provide feedback and get involved in improvement projects, as well as get the individualised support that they may need throughout their training.
Continuing your Psychiatry training from Stage 2 or 3 with NWMH is an excellent opportunity to join a passionate, dynamic and experienced team of Registrars, Consultants and mental health clinicians across our service.
