Mental Health and Alcohol and Other Drugs Central Australia Region

Alice Springs

One full time ongoing vacancy is available

Central Australia Mental Health Services delivers public mental health services through a number of interdependent specialist multi-disciplinary mental health teams based in Alice Springs and Tennant Creek. This is a unique and rare opportunity in a highly-interested field within a positive and supportive team environment.

The central desert region of Australia is unique with spectacular national parks surrounding Alice Springs. The lifestyle is laid back with an emphasis on outdoor activities and the arts. It is a friendly, welcoming place suited to anyone with a sense of adventure and those interested in indigenous health issues, not generally seen by health professionals in other areas of Australia.

Alice Springs Hospital has a catchment area of over 1,000,000 km2. We care for some of the nation's most socially disadvantaged people, with high levels of morbidity and mortality, many with diseases not seen elsewhere in the country

The Alice Springs Correctional Centre holds prisoners of all security levels and with a focus on rehabilitation and integration. The centre is 25 kilometres south of Alice Springs on the Stuart Highway.

The Alice Springs Hospital is a major referral and teaching hospital for Central Australia, serving a population of more than 42,000 people in the area exceeding a million square kilometres, covering more than 60 per cent of the Northern Territory and extending into the bordering areas of South Australia and Western Australia. The hospital has more than 65,000 admissions annually and, with almost 84 percent of patients being Aboriginal it cares for some of the nation's most vulnerable people, with high levels of morbidity and mortality, and many conditions rarely seen elsewhere in the country.

An opportunity exists for a suitably qualified Psychologist to fill the position within the Forensic Mental Health Team (FMHT). As a member of a multidisciplinary team, provide a culturally appropriate assessment and treatment service to FMHT patients.
