What you'll be doing

MHDA Declaration
Each person’s unique journey of recovery will be supported by Mental Health drug and alcohol services in a way that fosters hope, purpose and resilience.

MHDA Statement of Intention
The intention of the NSLHD MHDA is to provide recovery-oriented, trauma informed services that are guided by evidence based practices and collaboration.
Coral Tree Family Service is a tertiary referral service for children with Mental Health problems. The service provides treatment to referred children in the context of their family and conceptualises the family as the unit of treatment. Families come from across NSW for planned 4 night stays with up to 3 families at a time being in residence.


Family Workers staff the residential family admissions program and provide the crucial residential ‘in situ’ Mental Health interventions that make our service unique. Family workers act as agents of change, seeking to find opportunities for improved interactions in the ‘here and now’ of family life. A main focus is on empowering parents/carers to find better ways of helping the children in their care. A respectful partnership with all family members is an essential prerequisite to achieving positive outcomes. The role involves care coordination throughout a families contact with the service by liaising with allocated families and their referrers. This central role involves preparing families for admission, organising the care required during their stay, providing therapeutic interventions with other members of the team during the admission, reporting back to referring agents following the stay, and providing some telephone follow up support to the family.

People of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander background encouraged to apply.

Candidates will need to meet the following criteria:

  1. Recognised qualifications as a Psychologist, Registered Nurse, or Occupational Therapist with current registration through the relevant Professional Board of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency, or eligibility for Membership for Social Workers with the AASW.
  2. Post qualification experience that demonstrates the ability to provide a range of Mental Health interventions to children with severe emotional and behavioural problems.
