The Eating Disorders Clinical Hub (The Hub) is the central referral point for access to all community-based eating disorders services in the ACT.

EDRTC is seeking a dynamic and experienced mental health clinician to undertake the role of EDRTC intake clinician and service co-ordinator. Under the limited direction of Allied health team manager, the clinician provides expertise in referral management and mental health eating disorder assessment, including risk and physical assessment. Other key responsibilities will include system co-ordination, liaising with ED Hub, hospitals, GP clinics and other public community services or private clinicians, as well as an ability to support individual and group interventions for residents at EDRTC. These interventions may include facilitating group sessions, meal support therapy, and key worker or individual/family sessions. You will work as part of a multidisciplinary team and provide support and supervision to staff at Health Professional Level 1, Allied Health Assistants, and students.
