About the Service

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 - Queenscliffe Mental Health and Wellbeing Local (GGQ Local) is a key step in realising this goal.


The GGQ Local is delivered by a consortium of equal partners: Barwon Health, Watharoung Aboriginal Co-operative Ltd, Wellways Australia and ermha365.

It 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 GGQ 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.

About You

Passionate about mental health, Alcohol & Other Drugs (AOD) and seeing people reach their potential, you will have relevant skills, experience and qualifications and be looking for an opportunity to improve the way the sector operates.


Further to this, you will possess:

  • Possess a core understanding of a variety of models of practice which are complementary to supporting people that are impacted by AOD
  • Knowledge of relevant legislation, policies, and protocols related to mental health, AOD and seeing people reach their potential, child protection, and consumer support services
  • Effective interpersonal and communication skills, including public speaking, networking and the ability to contribute positively within a team and influence others
  • Empathy, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach when dealing with individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures and the ability to approach problem situations creatively, to be resourceful and reflective
  • Relevant degree with relevant experience or Associate Diploma with substantial experience or less formal qualifications with specialized skills sufficient to perform at this level
About the Role

The vision of the Locals Service for the GGQ region is a unified, mental health and wellbeing system that is underpinned by the approach of "How can we help?'.

The primary objective of this role is to ensure the safety, well-being, and empowerment of people affected by AOD through supporting linkages with AOD organisations, and capacity building of the broader team, while also promoting prevention and early intervention strategies.


This will be achieved through:

  • Establish and maintain effective working relationships with community organizations, government agencies, and stakeholders involved in AOD prevention and intervention.
  • Conduct educational sessions and workshops for community groups, schools, and organizations to raise awareness about AOD, prevention strategies, and available support services.
  • Respond promptly and effectively to AOD situations, including referral to appropriate support services.
  • Act as an advocate for consumers, ensuring their rights are protected and their voices are heard within the legal system and other relevant settings.
  • Develop and implement individualized case plans, coordinating the provision of support services and maintaining accurate and confidential case records
This is a part time role (2 days per week / 0.4 FTE).

We take appropriate actions to ensure that our staff and the people we support are as safe as possible.

You will be expected to adhere to all OHS standards, requirements and processes, including (but not limited to) wearing appropriate PPE and regular hygiene and cleanliness practices.

It is a requirement of this position to meet all compliance requirements concerning NDIS Work Screening, Working with Children Check, work rights and possess a current & valid driver's licence.
