  • Post Trauma Victoria (PTV), an outpatient service and structured Group Treatment Programme for police, emergency responders and civilians, and
  • Ward 17, a 20-bed inpatient unit for consumers requiring a more intensive intervention;

To be successful in this role you must:

Assess consumers, formulate management plans, and co-ordinate treatment under appropriate supervision from the Consultant Psychiatrist.

  • Provide high quality mental health care using a recovery-oriented, consumer-centred approach, appropriately involving families and carers.
  • Provide clinical leadership, working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team setting.
  • Participate in unit ward rounds, team meetings and clinical meetings.
  • Liaise with health care professionals (HCP) across teams and divisions within Austin Health and externally, including specific stakeholders for the populations to which the PTRS provides care.
  • Deliver prompt, high quality documentation (including discharge summaries) and appropriate reports to other clinicians or services in order to co-ordinate care.
  • Use electronic medical records effectively and accurately to prescribe, document and communicate with colleagues.
  • Assist in the management of inpatient bed flow in collaboration with the Intake Team.
  • Comply with relevant privacy legislation and Austin Health Policy concerning the distribution and confidentiality of health information.
