About Talked

Talked is a leading Australian telehealth platform focused on making access to mental health care faster, easier and more flexible. We work with individuals and organisations to deliver high-quality mental health support, with a focus on client choice, clinical quality, and digital convenience.

We’re now expanding our services to include a new triage offering, helping people navigate to the right level of mental health support based on their needs.

About the Role

This is a 100% WFH contractor role ideal for a junior AHPRA-registered registered nurse. You’ll support clients through short triage sessions conducted via video, phone or messaging. Using the Initial Assessment and Referral Decision Support Tool (IAR-DST), you’ll assess their mental health needs and provide a clear recommendation for the most appropriate level of care.

This service is aimed at lower-risk presentations (e.g. the ‘worried-well’) but may involve contact with distressed clients. During your shift, you may be required to manage a queue of clients, with periods of both downtime and consecutive sessions. You’ll need to be calm, supportive and confident using digital tools and following clinical protocols.

Hours are flexible and negotiable (ideally weekdays), typically ranging from 15-20 hours per week.

What You’ll Do

Conduct brief triage sessions via video, phone or secure messaging

Use the IAR-DST to assess clients' needs and assign a recommended level of care

Provide a clear recommendation pathway for the next steps the client should take

Follow escalation pathways for higher-risk presentations

Learn about common services and referral options within the system

Handle potentially distressed clients with professionalism and empathy

Record accurate session notes and clinical recommendations in our platform
