About the role

It was established in response to the recommendations of the Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System and encompasses a central hub (Turning Point) which links with Network Providers across the state.

The Hamilton Centre provides expert advice to support the mental health and alcohol and other drugs (AOD) workforce, as well as delivering better outcomes for Victorians seeking treatment for mental health concerns and substance addiction. The Hamilton Centre aims to provide outcomes such as improved access to specialist services, increased support for mental health professionals, and better evidence-based practice.

The position may also assist with promotional and stakeholder engagement activities including events and workshops and provide backfill duties for administrative functions in other parts of Turning Point as needed. The incumbent in this role will work closely with other members of the team, generally with supervision for most tasks.

The role will be mainly based in Richmond within Turning Point Statewide services; the incumbent may, at the manager's discretion, be required to work across various locations.
