The benefits of QSMA membership will become an essential component in assisting organisations to reinterpret their place in the evolving health system in which self-management is integral.
As the peak body for self-management in Queensland, QSMA's role is multifaceted and includes informing strategic policy development and decision-making. Therefore, acquiring QSMA membership will provide members with the immediate access to up to date information and tools, which will support the normalisation of self-management philosophy and practices within new and existing services and systems.
By joining QSMA, you will become part of a state-wide network, which will support your self-management journey by providing opportunities to connect locally with other members and to further develop knowledge, skills and understanding of how an effective self-management system might operate.

- Assist in achieving QSMA objectives at a local level
- Receive quarterly newsletters/ communiqués providing an update of self management approaches and activities across Queensland.
- Actively participate in, and promote within your own network, awareness &/or educational sessions to increase knowledge, understanding and practice of self-management support.
