Melbourne, Australia Department of Health Full time

Location: Melbourne | CBD

Job type: Full time

Organisation: Department of Health

**Salary**: $90,067 - $102,192

Occupation: Other

Reference: VG/DH/MH/687901

***:
We have an exciting once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform the state's mental health system and make a real difference to the way people experiencing mental illness are supported in Victoria.

Backed by an unprecedented investment in response to the findings of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Division in the Department of Health is embarking on the ambitious policy challenge of reshaping the mental health system and the way mental health services are delivered in Victoria.

The Legislative Reform Unit plays a key role in establishing the critical foundations of these reforms. Multiple roles are available to contribute to a range of priority activities being managed by the unit.

It also includes support for the sector in transitioning to the new legislative requirements. Sector support roles will retain close ties with the legislative reform unit but may be embedded in other parts of the Division to ensure that the work aligns with and complements concurrent system reforms and sector support.

In each of these roles, you will engage closely with stakeholders, work collaboratively within the Division and the sector more broadly and have the opportunity to contribute to ensuring that the new legislation achieves the vision of the Royal Commission.

**Are you?**:

- Able to demonstrate a strong track record working on complex policy projects?
- Able to work under pressure to meet timelines, ensuring a high level of quality and accuracy in your work?
- skilled in policy design and development and/or project management with a proven track record of delivering quality outcomes?

**Mandatory Vaccination Policy**

**HOW TO APPLY**:
For this position, you are not required to address each of the key selection criteria in a separate written document.

Applicants must be an Australian Citizen, Permanent Resident or hold a valid work permit or visa. Work eligibility will be checked as part of the recruitment process.
