About Hunter Valley Mental Health Service (HVMHS):
HVMHS is a geographical unit within the Hunter New England Local Health District's Mental Health Network.

We are a dedicated team of qualified mental health clinicians focused on providing high-quality acute and non-acute clinical care to individuals severely affected by mental health problems.

These problems range from diagnosed mental illnesses such as mood disorders, psychosis, eating disorders, and personality disorders, to significant life events that are traumatic and distressing.

Integrated Services and Facilities
In addition to our community-based services, HVMHS also operates a 24-bed acute psychiatric unit located at Maitland Hospital.

Both services are seamlessly integrated to provide a continuum of care that facilitates treatment at home, in-hospital care, and post-discharge support for returning home.

This integration allows the Clinical Coordinator role to engage in a diverse range of clinical activities and settings, offering a comprehensive approach to mental health care.

Geographic Reach

Our services extend across several local government areas, including Maitland, Dungog, Cessnock, Singleton, Muswellbrook, and Upper Hunter, ensuring a broad impact on community mental health.

Multidisciplinary Team

The Clinical Coordinator will be part of a multidisciplinary team comprising Doctors, Nurses, Social Workers, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, an Aboriginal Counsellor, a Peer Worker, a Dietitian and Administrative staff.

Our comprehensive approach to care includes assessment, care planning, treatment, and review aimed at improving mental well-being and promoting recovery.

What We Do

We focus on a comprehensive approach to clinical mental health care that encompasses assessment, care planning, treatment, and ongoing review to facilitate mental well-being and recovery.

About the job:
