Please note that this position is multi-classified as either a OPS4 or OPS5.
Overview
The Barossa Hills Fleurieu Local Health Network has a strong commitment to the provision of accessible, effective and meaningful services to the Aboriginal communities, families and individuals from rural and remote areas. It also acknowledges the cultural determinants and particular complexities affecting the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal people and the need for a holistic and multi-faceted health approach to service design and delivery.
SA Health is leading significant reform designed to improve the health of all South Australians and meet future challenges, in accordance with the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Plan and Close the Gap initiatives.
OPS5: The Senior Aboriginal Health Practitioner – Mental Health will work with multi-disciplinary team and leadership team within the RRMHS across the sites of BHFLHN and works closely with the Aboriginal Health Team leader/s to embed culturally relevant client focussed clinical care across the BHFLHN region ensuring the rights and needs of client are at the centre of service delivery across the multidisciplinary team including visiting specialists and referral pathways. The role will work with the Aboriginal Health Team and Aboriginal Project Team to implement BHF Aboriginal Health Strategy, Closing the Gap targets and priorities, and the Indigenous Australians Health Program KPIs. The role will support the embedding of these strategies and plans within a primary health care model by developing, consulting, implementing, and reporting on key performance measures and outcomes.
