About this Opportunity
The Mental Health Clinician provides moderate intensity mental health services to clients who are not able to access appropriate services due to living in remote locations or being ineligible for existing services. Delivering evidence based psychological interventions, the Clinician uses a combination of telephone, telehealth and face to face consulting.
