Job details

Your opportunity

In South West Queensland, system partners are focused on developing a connected system of care components that will improve the mental health and wellbeing of parents in the perinatal period (before birth to when the infant is 2 years old). Together in Mind is a collaborative perinatal and infant mental health day program developed by the Queensland Centre for Perinatal and Infant Mental Health (QCPIMH) and funded by the Department of Health. Together in Mind provides psycho-education and support for women who have a diagnosed moderate to severe mental illness in the postpartum period. The program is designed as an adjunct to community mental health treatment and may also function as a step up/step down support for women recently discharged from inpatient mental health care. Together in Mind is collaboratively facilitated by clinical staff from adult mental health, child and youth mental health and child health services. Support in implementing the Together in Mind program is provided by the QCPIMH.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.

Roma is the largest town in the Maranoa Region servicing a catchment population of almost 14,000 and offers an array of city-like conveniences with friendly country hospitality. Roma's newly built hospital hosts an extensive list of services with state of the art facilities.
