Northam WA Australia Healthcare Australia Full time $150,000 - $250,000 per year
Company Description

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 Description

An opportunity exists to join a small team of Psychiatrists in Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne – lead by our Psychiatry Lead, Kathryn Drew. 

Join us in bringing a new approach to medical and wellbeing care for detainees by: 

  • Conducting psychiatric assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans for individuals in detention, including face-to-face and telehealth
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to provide holistic, culturally appropriate, and trauma-informed care
  • Providing clinical leadership and guidance to staff across the network, contributing to a positive team culture
  • Supporting continuity of care by liaising with external mental health providers and legal representatives
  • Participating in clinical governance, quality improvement, and reflective practice activities

This role is ideally 1 day per week or fortnight, with a combination of face-to-face and virtual (telehealth) service delivery.  Face-to-face work is primarily based at Yongah Hill Immigration Detention Centre, located approximately 90km northeast of Perth which operates similarly to a community clinic, with scheduled appointments and coordinated care.  Occasional face-to-face time may also be required at the Perth Immigration Detention Centre, located near Perth Airport

Let's talk about you

As a Psychiatrist you will bring a strong commitment to delivering high-quality mental health care ideally in other complex settings such as forensic, custodial, or immigration health environments (but not mandatory), and are confident navigating culturally diverse, trauma-impacted populations. You thrive in a multidisciplinary team and are looking for a meaningful role where your expertise contributes to broader service development and improved outcomes for those in your care.

You'll bring your passion for mental health and be rewarded with:

  • A chance to work within a well-respected Australian organization with over 1000 employees, including doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals.
  • Work regular hours, no weekends or on call work 
  • Discounted Bupa Health Insurance
  • Birthday leave – this is your paid, special day off to celebrate, relax and make the most of your birthday

Have any questions or further assistance about the role , please contact Katie Longhurst on [email protected]

Veterans are encouraged to apply. At HCA we are committed to embracing diversity and committed to providing a safe working environment.
