QCS are onboarding graduate and early career Psychologists, Social Workers and Occupational Therapists to our newly created Mental Health Clinician role.
Enjoy access to professional supervision, development, and supportive leadership. No two days are the same - expect a challenging caseload and rich on-the-job learning.
QCS provide a range of mental health services to adults in our care in each Correctional Centre and we're changing how we deliver these services - there has never been a better time to come to work with us!
The Townsville Correctional Complex is located approximately 15 kilometers from Townsville. The male and female secure centres are reception and remand facilities. Both centres accommodate mainstream with the male centre also accommodating protection prisoners. Townsville Correctional Complex also has both a male and a female low custody centre.
The centre supports laundry, tailor shop, metal shop, kitchens, and farm industries for employment of prisoners. In addition to centre requirements, the laundry and tailor shop provide services under contract to the community. Prisoners from the low custody sites also deliver community service projects in the Townsville community.
No two days will ever be the same; you will manage a challenging case load, be exposed to on the job learning like no other role, all while providing quality clinical services that include assessments and tailored interventions that support mental health and wellbeing.
Your excellent interpersonal skills will enable you to collaborate and work effectively and sensitively with a diverse range of colleagues and individuals in custody.

• Conduct independent risk assessments of harm to self or others, including acute or chronic risk
• Provide psychoeducation related to mental health conditions, symptoms and treatment options to individuals

• Maintain a high level of knowledge and contemporary understanding of psychopathology, diagnostic classification systems and clinical and psychometric assessment tools
• QCS' clinical frameworks provide sound guidance and logic for appropriate decisions and activities, plus you will have supportive leadership and supervision to help you continue to broaden your professional experience and knowledge.
