The Position 

This is an opportunity to choose between two rewarding roles—each offering its own blend of clinical impact, team collaboration, and lifestyle benefits. 

The first role places you at the heart of acute inpatient mental health care within a respected regional hospital. Here, you'll manage complex presentations—often involving severe psychiatric conditions and co-occurring medical issues—while working closely with emergency and general hospital teams. It's a fast-paced, high-impact environment that serves as a critical point of intervention for the surrounding community. 

The second position is based within a well-established community mental health service in a major regional centre. This role focuses on continuity of care, crisis prevention, and sustained recovery for individuals living in the community. You’ll be deeply involved in case management, multi-agency collaboration, and outreach that aims to reduce hospital admissions and support long-term mental wellbeing in a less intensive setting. 

The Hospital 

In the community-based role, you'll join a leading mental health service delivering integrated, general adult acute care. With 24/7 inpatient and community coverage, this service is grounded in recovery-oriented practice and community reintegration, supported by a dynamic, multidisciplinary team committed to innovation and best practice. 

In the inpatient role, you’ll work within a trusted regional hospital, delivering essential care for individuals in acute psychiatric crisis. This service plays a central role in stabilisation and emergency mental health intervention, combining strong links with medical and emergency teams and a holistic, team-based approach to care. 

The Location 

Moving to these locations offers a choice between a vibrant regional city and a charming regional town, each with its unique appeal. The city provides extensive amenities, diverse dining, cultural experiences, and broader educational and healthcare options, reflecting a faster pace of life. 

In contrast, the town offers a more relaxed, community-focused lifestyle with a strong sense of local connection. You'll find more affordable housing and a slower pace, with nature often on your doorstep. Both areas deliver a strong work-life balance that's characteristic of regional NSW.
