Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Alfred Health Full time

At Alfred Health, we are a leader in healthcare delivery, improvement, research, and education. Our main goal is to provide high-quality health services to people living in the inner southeast suburbs of Melbourne.

We offer an innovative youth mental health program that is making a real difference in the community. As our Allied Mental Health Practitioner, you will be responsible for providing counseling services to young people aged between 12–25 years at headspace under a Mental Health Care Plan through Medicare-funded items as a private provider.

The job requires you to operate as a session-based Private Practitioner, setting your own hours. You will work from one of our three locations: Bentleigh, Elsternwick, or Syndal. This position is fixed-term until June 2024, and you will need to have an honorary employee contract with Alfred Health.

To be eligible for this role, you must have a provider number for bulk-billing to Medicare. Additionally, you should have relevant tertiary qualifications and registration (AHPRA or AASW), indemnity insurance to the value of $10 million, full Covid-19 and 2024 Influenza vaccinations, current working rights visa, and satisfactory completion of a Police Check and Working with Children Check.

This is an excellent opportunity to join our team and make a positive impact on the lives of young people. We offer a supportive and fun work environment, no fee charges for room or reception, and the chance to receive 100% of the Medicare Billing, with clients able to pay a full fee payment of $35 above the Medicare rebate amount where possible.

Our experienced Access team will screen referrals, allocate them to the appropriate private practitioner based on the young person's clinical needs and presentation, and schedule first-time clients into your appointment schedule. It is essential that appointees to this position are contracted private practitioners with Alfred Health operating from the headspace Centre.

Estimated Salary: $120-$180 per hour, depending on experience and qualifications.
