Here at Talent Quarter, we are currently seeking an experienced Mental Health Clinician for a 6-week locum opportunity in Mildura, Victoria, commencing 6 October. Travel reimbursement is available for the successful candidate. This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled mental health professional to broaden their clinical experience, develop their skills within a regional healthcare setting, and enjoy a unique outback adventure along the way.

The Role

• Provide high-quality clinical assessment, intervention and support to adults accessing the Adult Recovery and Wellbeing Service.
• Conduct comprehensive mental state examinations and clinical assessments.
• Complete risk assessments and develop appropriate risk management plans.
• Provide evidence-based mental health interventions and support.

• Support consumers throughout their recovery and wellbeing journey.
• Work effectively within a multidisciplinary team in a regional healthcare environment.

About You

• 3-5 years of relevant mental health experience.
• A relevant bachelor's degree; postgraduate qualifications are highly regarded.
• Previous experience in acute mental health and/or hospital settings.
• Strong clinical assessment, risk management and decision-making skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively to a multidisciplinary team.
• A current Australian driver's licence.
• Current Australian professional registration (e.g. AHPRA, AASW, or relevant body).

This is an excellent opportunity to step outside your usual clinical environment, strengthen your regional and rural mental health experience, and make a meaningful contribution to the local community.
