Healthcare Australia (HCA) is a major provider of healthcare services across Australia, including allied health, primary care, recruitment, NDIS, care services, and training.
In December 2024, we began providing health, mental health, and wellbeing services across the onshore Immigration Detention network. Our team of nurses, general practitioners, and allied health professionals offer a range of healthcare services, including health assessments, chronic disease management, health promotion, wound management, immunizations, and other primary health interventions. HCA also launched a 24/7 Virtual Care Centre (VCC), offering remote healthcare through telehealth and video consultations to enhance onsite care for detainees.
Job DescriptionThis role is responsible for delivering high-quality psychiatric care to individuals in immigration detention, ensuring evidence-based treatment and clinical excellence.

- Providing clinical advice and support regarding psychiatric conditions and treatment options.
- Contributing to the continuous improvement of psychiatric services by participating in policy development, education, training, and quality improvement initiatives.
- Ensuring psychiatric care aligns with clinical governance, regulatory standards, and organisational policies.
