Where you'll be working:
The Suicide Prevention and System Improvement team is a multidisciplinary team within Hunter New England Mental Health Services, based in Hamilton. The team leads a range of suicide prevention and system improvement initiatives across the district, working collaboratively to strengthen services and improve outcomes for our communities.

You’ll join a team that values learning, collaboration and continuous improvement, with a strong focus on embedding these principles into everyday practice.
