Healthcare Australia (HCA) is a major provider of healthcare services across Australia, including allied health, primary care, recruitment, NDIS, care services, and training.
In December 2024, we began providing health, mental health, and wellbeing services across the onshore Immigration Detention network.
Our team of nurses, general practitioners, and allied health professionals offer a range of healthcare services, including health assessments, chronic disease management, health promotion, wound management, immunizations, and other primary health interventions.
HCA also launched a 24/7 Virtual Care Centre (VCC), offering remote healthcare through telehealth and video consultations to enhance onsite care for detainees.
As a Psychiatrist with Healthcare Australia, you will provide comprehensive psychiatric assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans for individuals in immigration detention.
Working across a diverse and complex patient cohort, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality, patient-centered mental health care.
You will collaborate closely with medical, nursing, and allied health professionals to ensure holistic and coordinated care.
In addition, you will provide expert clinical advice and support to healthcare teams, helping to guide the management of psychiatric conditions and treatment options across the network.
This role also offers the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing development of mental health services through participation in education, training, and quality improvement initiatives.
You will help ensure services are delivered in line with clinical governance frameworks, regulatory requirements, and organisational policies, supporting safe and effective outcomes for patients.
