The **Aboriginal Mental Health, Social and Emotional Wellbeing Peer Worker** will utilise their lived experience to support Aboriginal patients accessing the NSW Community Forensic Mental Health Services, and to shape the delivery of culturally safe services by the Community Transitions Team (CTT) and the Community Forensic Mental Health Service (CFMHS).
