**About the Role**

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Peer Worker to join the Southern Dual Diagnosis Service (SDDS), part of Monash Health’s Drug and Alcohol Services.

This part-time role (0.8 EFT) is offered as a fixed-term contract until 30 June 2027, and is delivered in partnership with Harm Reduction Victoria (HRVic) and the Association of Participating Service Users (APSU) under the Reducing Harmful Drug Use through Peer Led Networks (RHDUPLN) initiative.

- **Salary packaging** - increase your take-home pay with generous salary packaging options.
