Are you passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people and excited by the opportunity to help shape a brand-new service? The Youth Mental Health (YMH) Initiative offers a unique chance to be among the first clinicians delivering an innovative model of care designed to improve access to specialist mental health support for young people across Hunter New England.

About the Role

As a YMH Clinician, you will provide comprehensive mental health assessment, therapeutic intervention, care coordination, and clinical support for young people aged 12–25 years experiencing severe and complex mental health concerns. You will work closely with families, carers, and supporting persons to ensure young people receive timely, coordinated, and person-centred care.

This role is part of the newly established Youth Mental Health Initiative, which partners directly with headspace services across Hunter New England to strengthen pathways between primary and specialist mental health care. You will collaborate with headspace staff, community partners, and multidisciplinary teams to enhance service delivery and improve outcomes for young people requiring more intensive mental health support.

Why This Role is Unique

This is an exciting opportunity to join a brand-new service and play a key role in its development from the ground up. As one of the inaugural clinicians in the YMH Initiative, you will help shape clinical pathways, contribute to service development, and influence how specialist youth mental health care is delivered across the region.

The role offers the best of both worlds - working within a youth-friendly primary care setting while being supported by specialist mental health expertise.

You will join a multidisciplinary team committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care. The role involves close collaboration with headspace services, the Primary Health Network, CAMHS, and other key stakeholders to ensure integrated and coordinated support for young people and their families.

About You

The ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary and interagency environments.
An interest in quality improvement, service development, and contributing to the growth of an innovative new service.
A commitment to improving access and outcomes for young people experiencing mental health challenges.

Join us in building a new model of youth mental health care and help create meaningful change for young people, families, and communities across Hunter New England.

Must hold a qualification in one of the following: Occupational Therapy, Clin Psychology/Clin Psych in Training, Nursing, Social Work, Counsellor (Degree in Bachelor of Health Science Mental Health, Djirruwang Program), which provides eligibility or membership of the relevant professional association general registration through the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.
