Australian Association for Infant Mental Health (AAIMHI) for the well-being of infants and very young children

Welcome to AAIMHI 

Affiliated with the World Association for Infant Mental Health

AAIMHI is a national organisation of professionals from many fields who work with infants and their families. Our mission is to work towards improving professional and community recognition that infancy is a critical time for psycho-social development, by promoting:

• Research
• Education
• Advocacy, and
• Mutual support through networking

AAIMHI holds a national conference every year, as well as other workshops and seminars, to enhance knowledge and skills about infancy, works with other agencies on advocacy and educational initiatives, responds to Government inquiries and reports relating to infancy and provides information to members through its quarterly newsletter.

We also develop position statements to support infant mental health professionals and parents. AAIMHI is an associate of the World Association for Infant Mental Health and contributes to international developments and initiatives.
