About Us:
Parkville Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing Service (PYMHWS) is Victoria's newest public mental health service dedicated to the care of young people aged 12 to 25 experiencing complex mental health challenges.
PYMHWS is leading a bold and values-driven transformation in youth mental health care across Melbourne's north and west. We exist to walk alongside young people, their families, carers, supporters and kin delivering care that is accessible, inclusive, developmentally appropriate, evidence-informed, and grounded in lived experience. Our service model is shaped by the voices of young people and their communities, and underpinned by a commitment to safety, equity, and continuous learning.
At PYMHWS, we are working with our community and partners to build in a future where all young people can access world-class mental health support, close to home. As we grow, we are looking for passionate, skilled, and visionary professionals to join us in shaping a new era of youth mental health in Victoria.
The Opportunity:
Our service is made up of compassionate, curious, and committed people. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an Early Intervention and NDIS Support Lead to support clinicians across PYMHWS to identify, assess and link young people at risk of psychosocial disability to appropriate external supports.
As a Senior Clinician, you will be able to work autonomously, with a strong focus on collaborating with clinical streams and care teams across each of our sites in the north-west of Melbourne, as well as external agencies including the NDIS.
Why Join PYMHWS?
- Support linkages between youth mental health and disability in Victoria
- Work alongside passionate, visionary leaders in a values-led organisation
- Salary packaging options, up to $11,600 tax free earnings
- Flexible working arrangements including remote work options where possible
- Employee wellbeing focused, access to EAP
- Flexible, inclusive, and supportive workplace culture
- Opportunities for professional growth and development
PYMHWS stands in solidarity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in work and care. We are proud to be a workplace that champions diversity, inclusion and equality for our staff and our community. Our goal is for our people to feel safe, included and supported so that they can be at their best every single day. We encourage talented people from all backgrounds, abilities, and identities to apply to our vacancies, and will consider adjustments to support such applications.
About the Role:
The Early Intervention and NDIS Support Lead role ensures all eligible young people at PYMHWS are identified and referred for appropriate psychosocial supports through either the NDIS, EIPSR or other external agencies. The focus of the role is to build organisational capacity, strengthen referral pathways, and act as the primary clinical link between PYMHWS, psychosocial providers, and other key stakeholders.
By embedding efficient referral systems and building strong partnerships with NDIS and EIPSR providers, this role ensures PYMHWS can deliver integrated, holistic care. This improves service responsiveness, prevents service gaps, and supports the organisation's goal of reducing the incidence of permanent psychosocial disability among young people.
What You'll Do:
- Build organisational capacity through education and advocacy
- Provide secondary consultation, functional assessments or guidance to clinicians supporting young people applying for NDIS access or review
- Strengthen referral pathways to NDIS and psychosocial supports, supporting system navigation and addressing barriers to access
- Act as a liaison and primary clinical link between PYMHWS, NDIS, psychosocial providers, and other key stakeholders
About You:
A Mental Health Clinician who can work both autonomously and collaboratively with clinicians, PYMHWS streams and external agencies. You will be passionate about supporting functional recovery and improving access to psychosocial supports for those experiencing mental health, and may have specific experience in functional assessment, working across NDIS and the community sector, or working with systems and families.
Eligible disciplines: RPN Grade 4 / Occupational Therapist, Social Worker and Psychologist Grade 3
Occupational Therapists and Social Workers strongly encouraged to apply
Minimum 5 years' experience in tertiary and/or youth mental health with a demonstrated ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively with other clinicians and agencies
