About the Role

Make a meaningful difference to the mental health and wellbeing of women, infants and families. The Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Consultation Service (PIMHCS) is seeking a clinician to join its community-based specialist multidisciplinary team, providing perinatal mental health assessment, consultation and evidence-based therapeutic interventions for women planning pregnancy, who are pregnant, or in the first year after birth. Working within a recovery oriented, trauma informed and attachment focused framework, you will help improve outcomes for women experiencing significant mental health difficulties, complex trauma and psychosocial stress.

In this rewarding role, you will deliver perinatal mental health triage, assessment, case formulation and individual and group interventions, while working collaboratively with women, their families and carers. You will contribute to specialist programs and maintain high-quality clinical documentation, including risk assessments, ensuring safe and effective care for perinatal clients and their infants.

We're looking for a clinician with strong assessment, communication and therapeutic skills, and a passion for supporting women and families during the perinatal period.



Success in this role requires strong communication and relationship-building skills, sound clinical judgement and a collaborative approach to working within a multidisciplinary team. You will be committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred care and achieving positive outcomes for clients and their families.
