NBMLHD Community Mental Health offers a range of specialised services for children, young people, families and older people, through our community-based services and health centers.

You will work within a family-responsive framework, using evidence-based practice to support individuals in their recovery journey while promoting dignity, respect, and inclusion.

You will play a key role in encouraging self-advocacy, empowering clients to take an active role in their care, and building their capacity for optimal independent functioning within the community. Working as part of a multidisciplinary team, you will contribute your clinical expertise to assessment, care planning, and therapeutic interventions, while fostering strong partnerships with families, carers, and community supports.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference by supporting people to achieve improved wellbeing, greater autonomy, and lasting recovery outcomes in a supportive and progressive environment. Apply Npw!
