The Loddon Children's Health and Wellbeing Local provides a range of health and wellbeing services to children up to 11 years of age who may be experiencing some challenges such as developmental, emotional, relational or behavioural concerns. Services are available to families across the shires of Campaspe, Central Goldfields, Loddon, Macedon Ranges, Mt Alexander, and Greater Bendigo. The LCHWL is an innovative model co-designed with partners - paediatric service providers, and people with lived experience - to provide a regionally based system response that improves access across prevention, primary and tertiary care in the Loddon region. The service is particularly targeting those children who are not accessing support under other mechanisms such as NDIS.

The position supports a local service response in the Mt Alexander Shire Council Region and actively engages in the multi-disciplinary LCHWL team to provide accessible and coordinated services to children 0 to 11 years and their families across the region.
This exciting new role will be part of a new and innovative Program delivering holistic care, ensuring timely response to the changing needs of children and their families. This position will provide a central point for connecting, navigating, and accessing health and social care, whilst providing a coordinated and holistic care pathway for children and their families. This will include identifying the health, mental health and wellbeing needs of the child, connecting to and navigating service pathways, providing therapeutic intervention and supporting capacity building for the family and other adults in the child's network
The role will work in collaboration with the external regional LCHWL Team contributing to children and their families to reach their full potential.

- Possess strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Sound knowledge of family centred practice and the protective factors and contributors in relation to health inequality and vulnerability.
