Input from those affected by mental illness is valued at every level of our organisation, which is why the majority of our board members and over half of our staff have lived experience as a consumer or carer.
Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW Ltd (trading as One Door Mental Health) Board is currently seeking two Board members committed to improving the lives of those affected by mental illness. We are seeking to increase women on our Board and so we would prioritise suitable women applications.
