About the Role
Join our team as an Occupational Therapist in Adult Mental Health on a part time (32 hours per week), fixed term basis until February 2026, working at Atherton Road Hub based at Oakleigh. 

This role offers the opportunity to deliver safe, evidence-based clinical care within a supportive and collaborative multidisciplinary environment. You will work autonomously within your scope of practice to assess, plan, and implement consumer-centred interventions, while also providing specialist advice to peers and supporting equitable access to care. You’ll contribute to clinical leadership by supervising junior staff and students, driving quality improvement initiatives, and championing the integration of digital health technologies. A commitment to professional development, cultural sensitivity, and collaborative practice is essential, as is active engagement in the ongoing evolution of healthcare delivery at Monash Health.

About Us

The aim of the program is to provide comprehensive mental health care that considers all aspects of a person’s needs and includes the carer’s and family’s involvement and support.

The service operates from a community clinic between the hours of 8.30am – 20.30 pm Monday - Sunday.
