We provide community and clinic based allied health services, with a strong focus on disability and senior health. We proudly offer services nationally via telepractice and in the community across Sydney, the Hunter, Central Coast, Illawarra and Melbourne.
We’ve been in the Allied Health industry for nearly 20 years, and you don’t get that sort of longevity without the best of the best employees. We know that when we support our team, it means that they support our clients, which is what we are all about.

- Collaborating with passionate, likeminded colleagues creates connection and facilitates personal and professional growth
- Keeping personalised care at the heart of what we do challenges us to seek new and innovative ways to deliver life-changing service

Your day-to-day
Day to day you will provide a comprehensive range of mental health services for individuals in the community. The clinical skills you may bring to the role will work in achieving an optimal state of personal, social and emotional wellbeing, as defined by the individual needs of each person.
You will achieve this by working with them to identify barriers to optimal functioning through interventions that focus on enhancing existing skills, creating opportunities, promoting wellness, remediating or restoring skills, modifying or adapting the environment or activity, and preventing relapse.
Logistically, we have offices in Erina and Toronto and the role can be structured as full-time or part-time. Depending where you are based, we can tailor your caseload to service clients around the Central Coast. You will have someone assigned to you in admin to assist with scheduling appointments and they will work with you to ensure you aren’t zigzagging around and you’ll have clients to see close to home and/ or in the office.
This role will provide trauma informed, person-centred, evidence-based interventions and support for people in our community experiencing moderate to severe mental health presentations including: acute and chronic psychotic disorders; schizophrenia; bipolar; generalised anxiety; depression; PTSD; alcohol and drug use disorders; mixed anxiety and depression; dissociative (conversion) disorder; sleep problems and OCD.
You will be competent in writing comprehensive reports based on your advanced clinical understanding, application of various clinical assessments and implementation of appropriate interventions to address prioritised needs. You will also have experience in conducting functional behavioural assessments, gathering behaviour data, and developing positive behavioural support plans (with and without the use of restrictive practice) for people with disability.
