About the role

The purpose of this team is to improve access to multidisciplinary mental health and alcohol and other drugs treatment and care for adolescents and young adults aged 12-25 years presenting to headspace with more complex mental health needs.

This role delivers high quality evidence-based alcohol and other drug (AOD) clinical services for adolescents and young adults and their carer networks, who are presenting to headspace sites within the HHS catchment, who require more complex dual diagnosis assessment and treatment and would benefit from input from a specialist MHAOD team.
