Rehabilitation Psychiatrist Opportunity
You have a unique chance to take on a leadership role as a Rehabilitation Psychiatrist in a full-time capacity. This position is part of a forward-thinking mental health service that delivers advanced clinical care to individuals experiencing complex psychiatric, emotional, or behavioural challenges.
This role places high value on forensic psychiatry expertise and requires you to work within a skilled multidisciplinary team. You will be shaping recovery-focused care plans and guiding holistic treatment approaches. From direct clinical intervention and comprehensive risk assessments to family liaison and inter-agency collaboration, your work will be pivotal to long-term recovery outcomes.
The mental health service group champions consumer and carer involvement and is firmly grounded in a recovery-oriented model. The services include a Secure Mental Health Rehabilitation Unit, Community Care Unit, Mobile Intensive Rehabilitation Team, and dedicated programs for acquired brain injury and regional rehabilitation support.
The location offers over 300 days of sunshine a year in a vibrant North Queensland hub. With a dry tropical climate, scenic beachfronts, panoramic lookouts, and the Great Barrier Reef nearby, natural beauty is always close by. The region combines a relaxed coastal pace with the convenience of a well-connected urban centre, supported by strong road, air, and public transport links.
The city is culturally rich and economically diverse, hosting national sporting teams, thriving arts spaces, and a lively dining scene. With more affordable housing than most capital cities, it also features leading educational institutions including James Cook University and Central Queensland University. A strong healthcare, education, retail, and defence sector make this an ideal place to grow your career while truly enjoying where you live.
