Mental Health Program

Eastern Health's Mental Health Program is a leader in care delivery, innovation, research and education.


The Mental Health Service works in partnership with consumers carers, families and other service providers, to provide high quality mental health assessments, clinical and therapeutic interventions, within a recovery oriented model of care, alongside the provision of discipline specific clinical work.

The model of care includes working in close collaboration with family and carers as well as in partnership with a range of community services to support the consumer's recovery journey.


The Mental Health & Wellbeing Program is passionate about developing and implementing key strategies to support and enhance the clinical capability of the allied health workforce in the Program and is supported by the Associate Director Allied Health Mental Health, Learning & Teaching.

About the role


The Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health system has recommended that the Victorian Government prepare for workforce reform and begin addressing workforce shortages by developing educational, training pathways and recruitment strategies, together with creating discipline specific roles to ensure people with mental ill health are receiving timely, evidence based care.

These initiatives included targeted programs to emerging allied health disciplines in mental health including dietetics, physiotherapy, clinical pharmacy and speech pathology.
