Employer: YSAS Pty Ltd

Salary: SCHCADS level 5 dependent on qualifications and experience + superannuation + Generous Salary Packaging + 5 weeks annual leave

Deadline: 28 Oct 2026, 5:00 pm

The Access Clinician works as part of the headspace Frankston multidisciplinary team to provide youth-friendly, evidence-informed, developmentally appropriate, family-inclusive and culturally responsive clinical and therapeutic services to young people aged 12 to 25 years, and their families, carers and support people.

The role works in alignment to the headspace Good Care Framework to deliver brief intervention, evidence-informed therapeutic intervention, care coordination, supported referral, clinical review, closure and transition, within their qualifications, registration or membership, competency, experience and agreed scope of practice.

This dedicated clinical role will work specifically with a case load of young people aged 12-25 providing access to low intensity & brief intervention counselling. This is a demand management initiative to address a growing waitlist and protracted wait time for internal pathways to care.

What our young people request from our workers:

Young people across YSAS have spoken out and given feedback about the qualities that best describe a good YSAS worker:

“A good worker takes the time to understand your interests and doesn’t treat everyone the same.” “Young people believe that a valuable YSAS worker is empathetic and good at actively listening in a non-judgmental way, is relatable,



down-to-earth and able to build trust and rapport in a consistent manner”. “It takes time to trust someone, but it’s worth it when you know they’ve got your back”. Young people have also raised that genuine human connection is an important quality, “being authentically human”, while having a holistic, flexible, and adaptable approach that considers the entire context of a young person’s life and their intersectionality. “It’s about making sure workers don’t just tick boxes but genuinely want to see us thrive”

Regardless of where they are based or what position a worker has, everything we do at YSAS is about young people and their families.
