An exciting temporary position exists for an experienced Mental Health Clinician to work within the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District MHS Pathways to Community Living Initiative, helping mental health consumers on their journey to recovery.
The Pathways to Community Living Initiative (PCLI) is a state-wide strategy that is shaping complex care and community rehabilitation in mental health services in NSW. This initiative works with mental health services and community led organisations to develop pathways of care and services for people who have had or are at risk of long hospital stays and experience severe and persistent symptoms of mental illness. The program aims to ensure each person has the opportunity to live their lives in the community, to participate to the fullness of their lives and have access to well being, purposefulness and connectedness.
This strategy is led, funded and coordinated by the NSW Ministry of Health in collaboration with Local Health Districts. This is occurring as part of a decade-long whole of government enhancement of mental health care under the NSW Mental Health Reform 2014-2024.
