About MHLET

Mental Health Lived Experience Tasmania Inc. (‘MHLET’) is Tasmania’s lead organisation for people with a personal lived experience of mental ill-health and psychosocial disability.

MHLET is a member-based, independent, not-for-profit organisation that works with mental health consumers, people with psychosocial disability, the state mental health system, mental health service providers, disability service providers and the community to ensure that the voice of lived experience is heard in the planning and delivery of Tasmanian mental health services and psychosocial disability services.

MHLET and its members also work to counter marginalisation, discrimination, stigma and the sense of profound isolation that is often experienced by people living with mental ill-health and psychosocial disability.

People who work at MHLET have personal lived experience of mental ill-health and recovery. This enables deep understanding of the various needs and perspectives of mental health consumers and people with psychosocial disability, while recognising that everyone’s lived experience is unique.

Flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.
