About Us
At Flourish Australia, our purpose is to create a world where everyone's mental wellbeing thrives. We help people with a personal lived experience of a mental health issue to feel supported and to meet their everyday challenges. We do this by valuing lived experience, supporting recovery, challenging discrimination, and connecting people, families and communities.
With 60+ locations across New South Wales, Southern Queensland and Victoria, we have over 50 years' experience providing comprehensive, holistic support for people affected by mental health issues. We provide one-on-one mentoring to assist people set goals, and guide them through the steps to achieve them. Most importantly, we put people in control of their personal recovery journey.
A Day in the Life
As a Mental Health Worker or Peer Worker in one of our community outreach programs, 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.
The shift typically starts by checking your daily tasks on our computer database. You would then attend a morning meeting with the rest of your team. At this meeting the priorities and issues of the day would be discussed before you head out to visit the people to whom we provide support.
Our Positions
The difference between a Mental Health Worker and a Peer Worker at Flourish Australia is that a Peer Worker is required to use their lived experience of a mental health issue and personal recovery openly, appropriately and effectively to build professional relationships with the people they support that also experience a mental health issue.
We strongly value diversity in the workplace and encourage applications from suitably qualified people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, people from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities, LGBTQ+ communities and mature age candidates.
What Happens Next?
To express an interest for working with Flourish Australia, please complete the questions below. You will then be asked to attach a copy of your resume. Your application will be forwarded to the relevant local hiring manager who will reach out should a suitable opportunity arise.
Please note, all successful applicants will be asked to provide evidence they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (including booster) prior to commencement, inline with Flourish Australia's Vaccination Policy.
