About the role
Our Acute Intervention Services (AIS) are often the first point of contact for people experiencing mental health distress in our community. Mental health phone triage is at the heart of this. It connects consumers, families and carers with timely, responsive care, and it ensures seamless transitions into and out of acute community treatment. Our services are grounded in recovery-oriented practice and are committed to high-quality, innovative and evidence-based care.
In this senior leadership role, you'll lead the phone triage service and help shape the model of care for acute community treatment across MHDAS. Working closely with the Program Manager, AIS, you'll oversee clinical workflow, operations and budget. You'll build strong partnerships with internal and external stakeholders, and you'll use data to drive service improvement. This is an opportunity to make a real impact for a passionate leader who brings vision and energy to a fast-paced acute environment.
Key Responsibilities
What We Are Looking For
You're an experienced mental health leader with a strong background in acute community settings and a proven ability to lead teams through complexity and change. You're confident with data, skilled at negotiating outcomes, and committed to putting consumers and their families at the centre of care.
Please note Barwon Health will only contact you via our official email and never use unconventional means, such as text messaging or other services.
