About Connected Care

Connected Care is a statewide mental health service delivered by Wellways in partnership with Stride Mental Health and Clarity Health Care and commissioned by Primary Health Tasmania.

The service supports adults aged 18 years and over to access free, coordinated mental health and wellbeing support, using a stepped-care approach that responds to their individual needs and goals. A multidisciplinary team brings together clinical, psychosocial and peer expertise to support people to access the right care and move between levels of support as their needs change.

The role can be based in Tasmania’s North or North-West, with regular travel across the region and some travel elsewhere in Tasmania.

What you bring:

You’ll bring experience building strong working relationships across health, mental health or community services, with the ability to connect people and organisations and support the development of practical referral pathways.

You’ll have an understanding of community development and recovery-oriented, trauma-informed and strengths-based approaches, along with knowledge of the broader services that support people's mental health and wellbeing.
