Eastern Health

Eastern Health is one of Melbourne’s largest public health services. We provide a range of emergency, surgical, medical and general healthcare services, including maternity, palliative care, mental health, drug and alcohol, residential care, community health and state-wide specialist services to people and communities that are diverse in culture, age, socio-economic status, population and healthcare needs.

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. Eastern Health has an exciting opportunity for a senior Physiotherapist to work in an educator role to develop and implement a learner program for early career Physiotherapists entering the mental health and wellbeing workforce.

The Physiotherapy educator will be expected to support and supervise allied health clinicians and students which includes ensuring the governance and clinical requirements of the Victoria Allied Health Mental Health Early Career Expanding Disciplines learner program are met.
