What your day could look like
As a Mental Health Clinician, you'll play a vital role in improving outcomes for children and young people with complex mental health and behavioural needs. From delivering tailored therapeutic care to working closely with families and partner agencies, you'll be part of a supportive team focused on meaningful, long-term change.
Every day, you'll contribute by:
Delivering evidence-informed assessments and therapeutic interventions that support stability, wellbeing, and growth
Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, carers, and external partners to create coordinated care pathways
Managing a diverse caseload, using sound clinical judgement to respond to complex and evolving needs
Contributing to service improvement, supervision, and learning that strengthens care across the team
Let's Talk About You
You're someone who brings both clinical expertise and genuine care to your work. You build trust quickly, communicate with empathy, and stay grounded when supporting complex situations. You take pride in helping young people and their families navigate challenges and feel supported through every step of their journey. You're driven by purpose, and motivated by the difference your work makes in real lives every day.
Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
Relevant registration or membership with your professional body (e.g. AHPRA or AASW)
Experience delivering mental health or therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and families
Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across teams and services
Ability to manage competing priorities while maintaining high-quality, person-centred care
You'll stand out from the crowd if you have experience working with complex trauma or within multi-agency environments, and/or additional training or postgraduate study in a relevant field.
Most importantly, you're passionate about supporting young people, committed to making a lasting impact, and ready to bring compassion, integrity, dignity, innovation, and courage to everything you do.
In this role, your work will help shape safer, stronger futures for young people and their communities.
