As a Psychiatrist in the Australian Defence Force, you will be the clinical leader in the mental health care system. You will be responsible for direct patient assessment and treatment in garrison and field environments.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Developing and reviewing policies, procedures, training, education and resources supporting the prevention, detection, management and treatment of mental health disorders at population, system, facility and individual levels.
  • Supporting the training and development of other medical, nursing and allied health professionals in the prevention, detection, assessment and management of mental illness in the Army and the ADF.
  • Coordinating and participating in collaborative case meetings involving non-clinical commanders of ADF personnel who have a legal responsibility for the welfare of their subordinates.
  • Overseeing the delivery of mental health support to critical incidents involving real, perceived or potential trauma to ADF personnel, other country armed forces personnel and civilians in the context of isolated events, natural disasters, conflict and violence under warlike and non-warlike conditions in Australia and overseas.
  • Contributing to the continuous improvement of the ADF mental health system – including research independently or in collaboration with the ADF Centre for Mental Health, other Government agencies and civilian research centres.
  • Translating research findings into action within the Army to enhance and maintain Army capability.

The advice and guidance you will provide will have direct, tangible effects on the management of individuals suffering from, or at risk of mental illness and will contribute to the activation of a vast network of resources to support individuals and families from within the ADF and from the broader veteran and non-veteran community.

You will work in collaboration with other clinical and non-clinical leaders across Navy, Army, Air Force and civilian contracted service providers.
