Job description

About our Employment Registers:
Welcome, and thank you for your interest in this Employment Register.
Our Registers are for use by non-employees. Current employees should lodge their interest for additional hours/duties on the intranet Expression of Interest page.
Registers provide a mechanism to recruit to casual vacancies. They may also be used to fill short, fixed term vacancies where normal recruitment processes are not practicable.
For permanent and more lengthy fixed term vacancies, please look at the individual advertisements on .
This Register will remain open until 30 June 2024 and will be reviewed on a regular basis.
Please note a fixed-term and Casual Employment Register is not a vacancy and inclusion on a register does not guarantee any offer of employment will be made.
This Register:
We welcome applications from Registered Nurses with specialist qualifications in Mental Health and also those who are looking for a pathway into the specialism or to broaden their current skills and experience.
We offer diverse opportunities to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team with consumers across the lifespan in a variety of settings including inpatient and residential services, hospital in the home, community, forensic and correctional health.
FAQs
Why nurse in Mental Health?

  • We are privileged to walk alongside our consumers, their friends and families in their recovery journey, nurses working in Mental Health describe a real sense of 'making a difference' in their day to day work.
  • No two days are the same in Mental Health. Some days may be structured with planned appointments or 1:1 time, others may involve responding to an emergency and thinking on your feet.
  • There are opportunities to work in a wide variety of settings including those that provide supervision and those that require a high degree of autonomy.
  • The Tasmanian Mental Health Reform Program will expand and redesign Mental Health services, adopting a 'no wrong door' approach. The next two years will see the opening of integrated care hubs in collaboration with our community sector partners, drawing on the Safe Haven Café and Recovery College models. We are enhancing our response to suicidal distress and acute needs and opening new 24-hour community-based beds.
