About the Role


The Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System has challenged us to think beyond incremental improvement to deliver a mental health system that helps all Victorians live their best lives.

In a region characterised by fragmentation, complexity, and access barriers, implementing the Geelong - Queenscliff Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is a key step in realising this goal.


The Geelong - Queenscliff Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is delivered by a consortium of equal partners: Barwon Health, Watharoung Aboriginal Cooperative Ltd, Wellways Australia and Ermha365.

The Geelong - Queenscliff Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is underpinned by positivity, hope and inclusion.

No matter whether a consumer, carer or provider enters or seeks assistance via digital platforms, contact centre, or physical locations, the first engagement will always start with a simple question:
"Welcome, how can we help?" Drawing on established services, networks, and pathways, the Geelong - Queenscliff Mental Health and Wellbeing Local provides seamless integration between local, area and wellbeing services for the benefit of consumers, carers, and providers. This is supported through standardised assessment tools, treatment and support processes, care plans and care coordination, colocation of services and regional navigational pathways.


The three core elements of our service are people, purpose, and place and we are seeking mental health professionals ready to be part of a central and accessible service that understands the needs of their community.

The vision of the Geelong - Queenscliff Mental Health and Wellbeing Local is a unified, mental health and wellbeing system that is underpinned by the approach of "How can we help?' The role of the Mental Health & AOD Support Worker will entail the following:
The service will operate from Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm (including public holidays). Over time, the service will be expanded to broader operating hours to cater to the needs of the people we support and the growth of the service (including after hours and weekends)
Mental Health & AOD Support Workers work closely with the consumer throughout their journey as their primary support
In consultation with the multi-disciplinary team, coordinate comprehensive assessment, care and discharge planning and provide 1:1 therapeutic psychosocial education

About ermha365

This job isn't for everyone.

At ermha365 we work with clients with some of the most complex mental health and disability support needs in Victoria.

We're a lifeline for people who often feel like a "square peg in a round hole" - those who experience stigma and discrimination, and are ostracised or excluded from the simple things that most of us take for granted.

In many cases we have become the provider of last resort, although we see ourselves as the provider of first choice.

We believe in the potential of everyone. We never give up, and we never give in.

If you're resilient, like a challenge and want to be part of transforming people's lives, then please contact us.

We are excited to partner with Barwon Health, t
