About Flourish Australia

Flourish Australia is a leading mental health service provider, dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to thrive. Our purpose is to create and inspire a world where everyone's mental wellbeing flourives.

We value lived experience, support recovery, challenge discrimination, and connect people, families, and communities. With over 50 years of experience, we provide comprehensive, holistic support for people affected by mental health issues.

A Day in the Life of a Support Mental Health Specialist

You will work with a high degree of independence, but with the support and guidance of your supervisor and colleagues when needed. Your typical day starts with checking daily tasks on our computer database. You attend a morning meeting with your team to discuss priorities and issues before visiting people who require our support.

Your role involves supporting individuals to look after their home environment and participating in community activities like shopping, medical appointments, or gym sessions. You might also assist people in recreational activities, job seeking, or gaining qualifications. The emphasis is on promoting independence and skill development within a recovery framework.

Difference between Mental Health Worker and Peer Worker

The key difference between a Mental Health Worker and a Peer Worker lies in their approach. A Peer Worker uses their lived experience of a mental health issue and personal recovery openly, appropriately, and effectively to build professional relationships with individuals they support. In contrast, a Mental Health Worker does not require this level of shared experience.

Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We strongly value diversity in the workplace and encourage applications from suitably qualified people from diverse backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and mature age candidates.
