Blended Mental Health / Emergency Department Rotation

In addition to the above, St Vincent’s also offers an opportunity to rotate through the Emergency Department. The Mental Health and Emergency (MH/ED) Blended Graduate Nurse Program is a specialised program designed to support newly registered nurses to develop foundational clinical skills, confidence, and professional capability across both Acute Mental Health and Emergency care settings. Commencing in January each year, the program provides graduates with rotational experience in Mental Health Services and the Emergency Department, supporting skill development at the interface of mental health and acute care.

During this rotation, graduates will provide care for a diverse range of adult clinical presentations including care of critically unwell and deteriorating patients, acute medical and surgical conditions, mental health, alcohol and other drugs, palliative care, and correctional health. Graduates will be supported by senior nursing staff and the multidisciplinary team to provide care and compassion to socially vulnerable and marginalised people in the community, and promote incorporation of social justice and advocacy into evidence-based clinical practice to ensure that all patients receive the best possible care.

Graduates will rotate through the different areas of ED, including the acute cubicles, short stay units, MHAOD Hub and Fast Tract to complete learning objectives and consolidate emergency nursing knowledge and clinical skills.

Duties include:

Deliver holistic nursing care addressing the physical, emotional, and mental health needs of consumers/patients across Mental Health and Emergency settings.
Provide recovery-oriented, trauma-informed care in Mental Health services in alignment with the National Practice Standards for the Mental Health Workforce (2013).
Safely administer medications and assist with medical and diagnostic procedures in accordance with hospital policies and protocols.
Observe, assess, document, and report relevant nursing findings in line with professional and organisational requirements.
Complete clinical handover in accordance with hospital and unit policies, utilising ISBAR principles.
Liaise effectively with consumers/patients, families, medical staff, and allied health professionals to support coordinated care.
Participate in consumer assessment, care planning, therapeutic activities, and discharge planning alongside the multi-disciplinary team.
Facilitate effective admission, transfer, and discharge processes in accordance with hospital and unit guidelines.
Apply relevant legislative requirements, including the Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022.

Classifications for these positions will be Registered Psychiatric Nurse Grade 2 NP11 ($81, 733 per annum pro rata); or YP2 if in the Emergency Department rotation.
