The Role

The role of a Mental Health Promotions Coordinator within the Directorate of Military Mental Health and Psychology will allow you to be innovative, creative, flexible, and challenge you to think outside the box in the way you deliver Mental Health Promotion strategies, activities and training to an incredibly unique audience.

The role requires overnight travel, providing administrative support as part of training governance requirements, minor technical support to online training, occasional work on weekends and outside of core business hours (with accrual of flex time), and requires a large amount of time away from your desk delivering training and engaging with ADF members.
