Participation Register New Member application form
Thank you for your interest in applying for the Tandem Participation Register.
This is an exciting opportunity to use your lived experience, knowledge of the mental health system and communication skills to advocate for the issues and concerns of mental health carers in Australia.
Tandem is pleased to manage the Victorian Mental Heath Carer Register (Tandem Participation Register) with support from the Victorian Department of Health. The Participation Register began in 2017 and is a pool of family members, friends and supporters of a person with mental health challenges. Those on the register are inducted and supported and come from a range of backgrounds and ages across Victoria. Members of the Register use their lived experience, expertise and knowledge of the primary and mental health and wellbeing systems both clinical and community, to advocate for, and ensure the voice of family, friends and supporters of those with mental health challenges is heard in various forums from state-wide planning to local service delivery.
Anything you share throughout this questionnaire will remain confidential to the Participation Register staff and will only be used to ensure we provide you with engagement opportunities that suit your lived experience.
Please note that you do not have to answer any questions you don’t feel comfortable answering or provide information that you don’t feel comfortable sharing. These questions will NOT be used as eligibility criteria for you to be a Register participant.
We welcome and encourage a diverse range of participant perspectives and experiences and we will support you as a participant by providing education and training so that you gain the skills and confidence required to engage in the opportunities offered.
Note* We encourage you to engage in self-care while working through the questionnaire as some of the questions or topics may be distressing to revisit.
