About this Event
The Rural Mental Health Conference 2026 (RMHC26) unites those working across regional, rural and remote Australia to improve mental health, wellbeing and recovery.
Join us for three days on the Gold Coast and engage in practical learning and honest, solutions-focused conversations grounded in real rural experience.
RMHC26 is designed to strengthen capability, improve pathways and support place-based solutions that work in community.
This year, the focus moves beyond exploring issues to building pathways, capability and confidence you can take straight back to your community, service or organisation.
What’s changed in 2026?
More action, fewer abstractions.
Clearer pathways, practical models and real-world solutions to the challenges you face every day in rural and remote contexts.
Less theory, stronger evidence.
A sharper focus on what works: safely, inclusively and effectively—across stepped care, suicide prevention, digital delivery and community-led practice.
From participation to leadership.
Lived experience, workforce sustainability and inclusion are no longer side conversations. They’re central to how rural mental health systems are designed, led and sustained.
If you attended RMHC before, 2026 is your next step - deeper, more practical, and aligned with where the sector is heading.
