From adults to children and young people, our passionate teams deliver specialist care, treatment and support to help people navigate life's challenges and find their path to recovery.

With services located across the region, we work hand-in-hand with hospitals, healthcare professionals, community organisations and local providers to make sure people get the right support when they need it. From acute mental health care and community-based support to alcohol and other drug services, early intervention and recovery programs, we're all about making a meaningful difference.

About the role:

• Deliver person-centred, recovery-focused mental health care through clinical assessments, risk assessments, care planning, therapeutic interventions and ongoing case management.
