About the role
The Emergency Mental Health (EMH) team is a specialist 24/7, 7-day-a-week service providing acute mental health and alcohol and other drug (AOD) assessment and intervention across the Emergency Department, MHAOD Hub, and community settings. As a tertiary-level, multidisciplinary team, EMH clinicians respond to individuals and families experiencing mental health and AOD crises, delivering timely, recovery-oriented care in high-acuity environments.
This role operates at the frontline of crisis response, including co-responder outreach with Victoria Police (PACER), and plays a critical role in supporting safe, coordinated access to Mental Health, Drugs and Alcohol Services (MHDAS). Clinicians work collaboratively with consumers, families and service partners, recognising and responding to diverse cultural needs to ensure care is person-centred and appropriate to individual circumstances.
