Advance Your Psychiatry Career. Be Part of a Major Service Expansion.

Forensicare, Victoria's statewide forensic mental health service, is looking for experienced Consultant Psychiatrists interested in building their career.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Forensicare is undergoing one of the largest expansions in its history.

Over the coming years, Thomas Embling Hospital will expand from136 beds to 218 beds, with the addition ofsix new inpatient units and 82 new beds.

This growth is creating significant opportunities for Consultant Psychiatrists to:

• Influence the development of new services
• Shape contemporary models of care
• Lead multidisciplinary teams
• Develop specialist forensic psychiatry expertise
• Contribute to service innovation, education and research

Rather than joining a mature service with limited growth opportunities, you will be part of an organisation at a transformational stage of development.

Why Forensicare?

• Secure inpatient services
• Community forensic mental health programs
• Court and justice-related services

Our Consultant Psychiatrists work within highly skilled multidisciplinary teams comprising:

• Registered Mental Health Nurses
• Occupational Therapists
• Social Workers
• Lived Experience Professionals

Unlike many healthcare settings, you'll be supported by a workforce of qualified mental health professionals working collaboratively to deliver outstanding clinical outcomes.

The Role

As a Consultant Psychiatrist, you will:

• Provide specialist psychiatric assessment and treatment
• Deliver forensic mental health advice and leadership
• Support multidisciplinary teams in the management of complex consumers
• Supervise Registrars and Junior Medical Staff
• Contribute to service development, education and training
• Participate in quality, research and improvement initiatives

Opportunities exist across hospital, prison and community settings.

• Demonstrated clinical leadership experience
• Confidence working with risk assessment and relevant mental health/forensic legislation
• A commitment to recovery-oriented and patient-centred care
