Looking for a meaningful role where your clinical skills genuinely change lives? This is an opportunity to join a highly respected national service delivering evidence-based mental health support to current and former Defence personnel and their families. You'll be part of a warm, multidisciplinary team known for its collaborative culture, supportive leadership, and commitment to high-quality care.

The Role
As a Mental Health Clinician, you'll provide focused psychological strategies, counselling, assessment, and case management to clients across individual, couple, family and group settings. You'll work with clients experiencing a range of mental health concerns, applying trauma-informed, client-centred approaches. The role includes liaison with other health providers, participation in case reviews, and contributing to group programs and service initiatives.

• Work collaboratively with internal clinicians, external providers and client support networks
• Assist with intake assessments and regional service coordination

What We're Looking For

• Registration as a Psychologist, Occupational Therapist or membership with AASW / PACFA / ACA

• Strong skills in trauma-informed assessment, risk formulation, brief intervention and clinical documentation
• Excellent communication, judgement, and emotional intelligence
• Ability to work with vulnerable and complex client presentations
• Australian Citizenship (APS requirement)
• Ability to obtain relevant Working With Children / Vulnerable People checks and baseline security clearance

Why This Role Stands Out

• A supportive clinical environment with supervision and funded CPD
• A team culture that values wellbeing, collaboration and professional growth
• Opportunity to make a real impact in a community that deeply values high-quality mental health care
• A chance to experience the lifestyle, culture and warm climate of the Northern Territory
