Department:
Alfred Mental & Addiction Health (AMAH) is responsible for the operation of services which focus on people with a mental illness residing in the Inner South Eastern area of Melbourne. The newly integrated Adult and Older Adult Service combines AMAH Adult Community Mental Health and Caulfield Aged and Liaison Psychiatry Services to provide comprehensive, person‑centred support for adults and older adults.

We offer a wide range of therapeutic, addiction, trauma‑informed and family violence services. In line with the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health recommendations and the Victorian Mental Health and Wellbeing Act 2022, we are expanding our services to provide specialised expertise and broad‑spectrum care, including pathways for substance use, rehabilitation, recovery and trauma‑focused care. Our approach focuses on integrated treatment, education, peer support, care planning and navigation, supporting individuals at every stage of their recovery journey.

Community Pathways Support (service name TBC) is a new AMAH service providing transitional clinical care for consumers stepping down from tertiary services or needing support to connect with primary healthcare providers. Delivered by a multidisciplinary team at St Kilda Road Clinic, the service operates across two care streams (GP Shared Care and Transitional Care), with flexibility for consumers to move between them should their needs change and rapid re‑entry to tertiary services if required.

The Senior Clinician will work alongside the Community Transition Liaison Coordinator to triage and allocate referrals, manage a caseload across both streams, and provide clinical leadership when needed, education, quality improvement and service development while collaborating closely with internal and external stakeholders, carers and families.
