As our Mental Health Clinician, you’ll deliver suicide-specific interventions for people at elevated risk across North Queensland. Reporting to the Clinical Lead, this full-time, hybrid role offers flexibility across five days per week—perfect if you’re balancing other life priorities.

You’ll primarily work from home but will also join your team for regular face-to-face meetings, training, and collaborative activities to stay connected and strengthen our service delivery.

If you’re a Clinical Psychologist, Psychologist, Mental Health Accredited Social Worker, Mental Health Accredited Occupational Therapist, or Mental Health Nurse with a passion for person-centred care, we want to meet you!

Benefits to you:

You’ll join an innovative suicide prevention service that’s all about timely, trauma-informed care. Though the role is primarily remote, you’ll be part of a close-knit, supportive team through a blend of virtual and in-person connection.

• Salary packaging up to $15,900 tax-free
• A flexible work schedule that fits around school hours or other commitments
• Hybrid role between home and the office (QLD-based preferred)
• Daily clinical governance meetings for shared support and debriefing
• Opportunities for professional growth in suicide prevention frameworks like SafeSide, CAMS, and CBT-SP
• A team culture that values autonomy, humour, and connection

About the Service:

The North Queensland Suicide Prevention Response (NQ SPR) service supports PHN-funded providers when clients are at elevated suicide risk. You’ll deliver interventions, consult with providers, and help keep people safely supported in their community—reducing pressure on acute services.

What you bring:

You’re an experienced mental health clinician who can provide clinical interventions with empathy, confidence, and cultural sensitivity. You thrive in a team environment (even virtually) and love a role where no two days are the same.

Key Requirements:

• Psychologists, OTs, and Nurses must hold full registration with AHPRA

• Experience in suicide prevention, trauma-informed care, and recovery-oriented practice
• Current Working with Children Check (Blue Card) or ability to obtain one
