An Accredited Mental Health Social Worker is a Social Worker who has completed additional mental health-specific training and has been accredited by the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). AMHSWs have extensive experience in delivering psychological therapies and are eligible to provide services under Medicare when referred through a GP MHCP. While Social Workers are not regulated by AHPRA, the AMHSW accreditation is a nationally recognised standard of professional practice in mental health.
