The Community Engagement Coordinator seeks opportunities to reach out to people with mental health issues and the communities that support them, to provide health education, raise mental health literacy and community awareness and link people to appropriate services.
You will develop, facilitate and evaluate a range of community events, and health and education programs designed to improve mental health literacy and community awareness of challenges faced by people with mental illness, in order to increase early identification and help them to get early access to appropriate services.
You will work closely with our clinical team to understand the services that Medicare Mental Health Centre provides, to advocate our services to the wider community.
