Your opportunity
The role of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Advanced Health Worker will function within the interprofessional team to enhance the delivery of respectful and culturally appropriate care to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people living with a mental health illness, as well as their carers and families. Care extends to the family's local community, kinship system and to primary care teams. Additionally, the role functions at a service level to lead service improvement, cross-cultural education, sharing of knowledge and mentorship to strengthen delivery of culturally responsive, holistic and well-coordinated care to meet the needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people, their families and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Under s25 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991, there is a genuine occupational requirement for the incumbent to be Indigenous to the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander Community.

The very nature of what we do and who we are is the real opportunity. Providing health care support in the bush is full of challenges, however, it remains the most rewarding of human experiences.
