Full job description

Flourish Australia is seeking an authentic, compassionate Peer Worker to join our team delivering the Commonwealth Psychosocial Support (CPS) Program.

This structured, recovery-oriented role is ideal for professionals committed to walking alongside people with psychosocial challenges—supporting them to build capacity, strengthen community connections, and live independently.

The position available is:

  • Closed-term Full-time until 30 June 2027
  • Working in your local community in Gympie
  • Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm
  • Attractive hourly rates equivalent to $40.49-$43.42/hour + Super + Salary Packaging!

About the Opportunity

As a Peer Worker, you will work in the community to support people accessing our services who have a lived experience of mental health challenges to achieve their hopes and dreams. Your personal lived experience of mental health challenges, trauma, recovery and navigating services is recognised as a form of Lived Experience Expertise. You use this expertise intentionally, safely, and purposefully to build relationships grounded in mutuality, shared understanding, respect, and hope. Through authentic connection and values-aligned self-disclosure, you support people to explore their strengths, rights, choices, and self-defined recovery goals, always honouring their roles as the expert in their own life.

On a day to day basis you will:

  • Deliver structured, time-limited, and goal-oriented support in line with CPS national guidelines, focused on improving daily functioning and achieving recovery goals.
  • Collaborate with participants to co-design and implement individual recovery plans based on their strengths, needs, and aspirations.
  • Conduct assessments, monitor progress, and adapt supports as needed.
  • Co-facilitate group programs that promote recovery, social connection, skill-building, and personal development.
  • Provide capacity building support across key life domains including housing, employment, education, physical health, and social engagement.
  • Connect participants with mainstream and community services to foster long-term independence.
To learn more about becoming a Peer Worker with Flourish Australia, we encourage you to review An Introduction to Peer Work at Flourish Australia, which provides a clear overview of the role. You can also deepen your understanding of our Peer Work model by exploring our Peer Workforce Framework.
