About the role
The Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System challenged us to go beyond incremental improvement and build a system that helps all Victorians live their best lives. The Greater Geelong and Borough of Queenscliffe (GGQ) Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is a key step towards that goal. It is delivered by a consortium of equal partners: Barwon Health, Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative, Wellways Australia and ermha365. The service is built on positivity, hope and inclusion. Whether people reach us online, by phone or in person, every first contact starts with a simple question: “Welcome, how can we help?”
As a Mental Health Clinician, employed by Barwon Health, you’ll provide assessment, brief intervention therapies and consultation to consumers and their families. You’ll also act as a key link between the Local and tertiary mental health services. You’ll work alongside peer workers, support workers and consortium partners to deliver connected, person-centred care, and you’ll help shape the service as it grows. We welcome applications from Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Registered Psychiatric Nurses (Grade 3). The role works Monday to Friday, 8.30am–5pm, supported by a Senior Clinician on shift. There may be opportunities for evening and weekend shifts in the future.
Key Responsibilities
What We Are Looking For

You bring strong assessment skills, confidence in working with people with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns, and a commitment to person-centred 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.
