About ermha365

This job isn’t for everyone. At ermha365 we work with clients with some of the most complex mental health and disability support needs in Victoria.

If we can assist you with any reasonable adjustments in order to submit your application for this role, please contact the Talent Acquisition team via email at careers@ermha.org noting your preferred method of communication and contact details and a member of the team will be in touch.
