About the RoleThe Youth Mental Health Worker will provide specialist support to young people with complex or high needs who may be difficult to engage in effective treatment and support.
The focus is on guiding the future management of these young people in primary health settings, providing evidence-based interventions, or facilitating referral to specialist settings where required.

- Avoidance of unnecessary hospitalisations through timely access to appropriate and targeted clinical care
- Active use of a multiagency care plan for young people with, or at risk of, severe and complex mental illness, to help link providers across multiple services involved in a young person's care
- Improved support for families and carers of young people experiencing severe mental illness
The priority populations will include young people who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, young people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, young people experiencing social and/or economic disadvantage, young people at risk of withdrawing from education or employment, young people who have experienced trauma, and young people who are at risk of hospitalisation.
