As Clinical Lead, you will provide expert clinical guidance to the team, lead professional development and supervision activities, and foster a culture of learning and improvement. You will collaborate closely with key stakeholders such as NSW Police, DCJ, JCPRP, NGOs, and other government and non-government partners to ensure a coordinated and trauma-informed response to sexual assault. This role includes participation in after-hours on-call duties and involvement in quality improvement initiatives and clinical research.
