Are you passionate about working with young people and their families? This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Mental Health Clinician to join a supportive Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) team in beautiful regional Victoria. We're seeking a Registered Nurse (preferred), Psychologist, Social Worker or Occupational Therapist who is ready to make a meaningful impact in either Swan Hill or Kyneton .
In this role, you'll work directly with children and young people aged up to 25 years, providing therapeutic case management and comprehensive mental health assessments. Presentations include moderate to high-risk concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, school refusal, autism, and eating disorders. Many clients require medium- to long-term engagement, making this a deeply rewarding position where you can build strong therapeutic relationships and support long-term recovery.
What's on Offer
* $10,000 Relocation Package: Includes 4 weeks' accommodation and support with removalist costs
* Weekly supervision with a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist
* Strong internal training and development program, including:
o Family-Based Therapy
o Eating Disorder treatment
o Autism spectrum support
o Co-morbidity and child/adolescent psychiatry
* Mindful Psychiatry Course starting in 2025
* Salary packaging + superannuation
* Supportive team culture with regular intake meetings, clinical supervision, and professional development pathways
About the Locations
Swan Hill is a rural town with access to a local hospital, GPs, and schools. This role would suit a confident clinician with strong CAMHS or acute mental health experience, able to work autonomously as the sole onsite clinician (1.8 FTE budget available).
Kyneton, while still regional, is more accessible - just over an hour from both Bendigo and Melbourne. This location offers the benefits of a regional lifestyle with proximity to urban amenities. Current staff commute from Bendigo and enjoy the relaxed pace and community spirit.
About You
We're looking for a passionate clinician with:
* AHPRA Nursing registration
* Minimum 3 years' experience in mental health, ideally with children and young people
* Strong skills in case coordination, risk assessment, and therapeutic engagement
* A genuine commitment to youth mental health and regional communities
Experience working with eating disorders or autism is desirable but not essential-comprehensive training is available for the right candidate.
You'll be supported to transition into the role with mentorship, structured onboarding, and opportunities to develop specialist skills in youth mental health.
