This is a position identified for Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people on the basis of a genuine occupational qualification under section 14(d) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander applicants must demonstrate Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander status in addition to addressing the selection criteria.

About the Role

Are you passionate about improving mental health outcomes for young people and interested in helping establish an innovative new service? The Youth Mental Health (YMH) Initiative offers a unique opportunity to be part of a new model of care designed to improve access to specialist mental health support for young people aged 12–25 years who are accessing headspace services and experiencing severe and complex mental health needs. As one of the first clinicians appointed to this initiative, you will play a key role in shaping the service and strengthening pathways between headspace and specialist mental health services across Hunter New England.

In this role, you will provide comprehensive mental health assessment, therapeutic intervention, care planning, and recovery-focused support to young people with severe and complex mental health concerns, as well as their families, carers, and support networks.

Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will collaborate closely with young people, families, community stakeholders, primary care providers, and the Primary Health Network to deliver coordinated and integrated care. Partnering directly with headspace services, you will support young people through direct clinical care while also providing consultation, guidance, and specialist expertise to headspace staff to enhance service delivery and mental health pathways.
