The Community Awareness Officer - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) will play a pivotal role in enhancing access to mental health services for young people from migrant, refugee, and ethnic minority backgrounds.

  • Working with the Youth Advisory Group, schools, and cultural-specific services to ensure programs reflect CALD youth voices and needs.
  • Leading outreach activities, attending cultural community events, and providing culturally tailored information to support access to mental health services.
  • Building and sustaining relationships with schools, CALD organisations, community groups, and agencies to enhance referral pathways, collaboration, and cultural responsiveness.
  • Supporting online and social media presence for CALD engagement and undertaking other activities as directed by the Clinical Services Manager.

Requirements:

  • Tertiary qualifications in the social or health sciences, community development or a related field, and/or substantial relevant experience in a similar field.
  • A deep understanding of cultural diversity and the ability to engage respectfully and effectively with people from migrant, refugee, and ethnic minority backgrounds.
  • A strong understanding of cultural diversity, youth mental health, and the challenges faced by CALD young people.
  • Experience in developing, delivering, and evaluating community engagement programs, workshops, and awareness initiatives.
  • A proven ability to build partnerships and collaborate with schools, community organisations, and service providers to achieve shared outcomes.
  • Excellent communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to engage respectfully with diverse audiences.

What We Offer:

We provide a collaborative, inclusive environment that integrates research and clinical care, leadership development initiatives designed to fast-track your career in youth services, and the opportunity to contribute to positive social change.
