About Us
Flourish Australia is a leading mental health organisation dedicated to creating a world where everyone's mental wellbeing thrives. Our purpose is to inspire and support people with a personal lived experience of a mental health issue to feel valued, supported, and empowered to meet their everyday challenges.
We have over 50 years' experience providing comprehensive, holistic support for people affected by mental health issues across New South Wales, Southern Queensland, Victoria, and South Australia. Our team of Mental Health Workers and Peer Workers provide one-on-one mentoring to assist individuals set goals and guide them through the steps to achieve them, ensuring they remain in control of their personal recovery journey.
A Day in the Life
As a Mental Health Worker or Peer Worker, your typical day is both varied and interesting. You work with a high degree of independence, but with the support and guidance of your supervisor and colleagues when needed. Your shift starts with checking your daily tasks on our computer database and attending a morning meeting with your team to discuss priorities and issues.
You then head out to visit individuals who require support, which can involve tasks such as helping them look after their home environment, supporting community activities like shopping or medical appointments, or encouraging participation in recreational activities, education, or employment. The emphasis is always on supporting independence and skill development.
In this role, you will work within a recovery framework where the individual receiving support is central in determining the assistance they receive. By walking alongside them as they determine their goals, you support people to make choices based on their own desires and wishes to change and learn.
The Difference Between Mental Health Workers and Peer Workers
The main difference between a Mental Health Worker and a Peer Worker at Flourish Australia is that 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 who also experience a mental health issue. This unique perspective enables Peer Workers to provide empathetic and tailored support.
Mental Health Workers do not require lived experience of a mental health issue in their everyday work, but both roles are crucial to our organisation's mission. We encourage applications from suitably qualified individuals who share our values of valuing lived experience, supporting recovery, challenging discrimination, and connecting people, families, and communities.
Benefits and Opportunities
We offer a competitive salary package, including an estimated $65,000 - $80,000 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. In addition to a supportive work environment, we provide opportunities for professional growth and development, as well as a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion.
Our positions are open to all suitably qualified applicants, and we strongly value diversity in the workplace. We encourage applications from individuals from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities, LGBTQ+ communities, and mature age candidates. If you are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of others, we invite you to explore this opportunity further.
