- Opportunity to promote quality health outcomes for emergency medicine.
- Provides clinical expertise and leadership for WAVED services to internal and external customers.
ABOUT THE STATE HEALTH OPERATIONS CENTRE (SHOC)
The State Health Operations Centre (SHOC) aims to improve the coordination and efficiency of patient flow services, establishing new functions to manage the demand on emergency departments and ease system pressures. These functions include patient transport services; call taking; triage and dispatch (St John WA); virtual emergency care and establishing situational awareness of demand and pressure across health service providers and St John WA by ensuring collective system-wide access to data, analysis and predict analytics capability.
ABOUT THE WA VIRTUAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
The WA Virtual Emergency Department (WAVED) will give patients the option of being seen virtually in the comfort of their own home when safe and appropriate to do so, rather than waiting in an emergency department (ED). This partnership between the Department of Health, Health Service Providers (HSPs) and St John WA provides patients with clinically appropriate alternative care options and help reduce visits to the ED. This will help alleviate pressures on Western Australia’s hospitals and ensure that beds are available for those who most need them.
Older adults within residential aged care facilities in the Perth metropolitan area are one of the initial priorities for WAVED as they are at much greater risk of experiencing harm from a hospital visit, such as hospital acquired infections, falls, loss of muscle mass/function and delirium.

The region is three times the size of the state of Victoria and just under a third of Western Australia's total land mass. The character of the Goldfields-Esperance region reflects the unique Aboriginal culture, the legacies of early mining and agricultural pioneers and a multi-cultural history of interstate and international migration.

Consultant Psychiatrist - Broome
# 12015
Fixed Term Full Time
WA Country Health Service
WA Country Health Service is seeking Psychiatrist/s for the Broome Mental Health Service.
more details ...
Shape the Future of Mental Healthcare in the Kimberley.
Are you a dynamic and innovative Psychiatrist dedicated to delivering services that address the distinctive requirements of the Kimberley community?
If so, WA Country Health Service is a seeking Psychiatrist for the Broome Mental Health Service.
We currently have 1 FTE vacant and can provide a Fixed-Term Full-Time contract for five years, with potential extensions.
About the Role
Opportunity Awaits: At the Broome Mental Health Unit (BMHU), we cover the expansive Kimberley and Pilbara regions, providing an incredible breadth of clinical experiences that contribute to a meaningful and dynamic daily practice. As an integral part of this team, you'll connect with hospitals across the regions and adult community mental health services, making a profound impact on mental healthcare delivery. Also, exciting projects are on the horizon such as the High Dependency Unit redesign. As part of this project you'll shape the future of our inpatient services and contribute to innovative solutions that enhance the patient experience.
Meaningful and Holistic Care: Acute inpatient care of Aboriginal patients tends to be more holistic overall and necessarily draws from a much broader pool of expertise and knowledge. One of the foundations of this diversity includes the knowledge and experience of Aboriginal Liaison Officers who provide invaluable wisdom about individuals, families, and communities. Seeing clients recover with treatment that is sensitive to their culture and beliefs provides opportunities to understand mental illness far more profoundly. Along the way, learning how symptoms of mental illness is conceptualised and the symbolism that it holds provides lessons and practical understanding that is not readily taught in formal psychiatric training.
Additionally, there is a significantly lower proportion of adjustment disorders/situational crises as a proportion of total presentations compared with metropolitan services.
Supportive Team Dynamics: As part of our passionate and multidisciplinary team, you'll experience direct and regular communication with the Clinical Director. Weekly service meetings feature robust case discussions, fostering collaboration and shared expertise. Our inpatient team is a cohesive unit comprising a trainee psychiatry registrar, an intern, five dedicated Aboriginal Liaison Officers, an Occupational Therapist, a Social Worker, a Nurse Unit Manager, and a skilled Nursing team.
Beyond the inpatient setting, you'll play a crucial role as the Clinical Lead for the Psychiatry Liaison Nurse (PLN) Service. Here, you'll conduct daily clinical reviews, encompassing ED presentations, community referrals for inpatient admissions, triage contacts, and consultation-liaison psychiatric cases in the general hospital. This multidimensional approach ensures your expertise touches a wide spectrum of care.
Guidance and Supervision: Your influence extends to the mentorship and supervision of three doctors under your leadership. This includes two trainee psychiatry registrars, one in the inpatient setting, and the other dedicated to Consultation Liaison, along with an inpatient intern.
Patient Demographics and Common Presentations: Patient demographics are diverse, ranging from young adults to the elderly, with a significant Aboriginal population. In the inpatient setting, 80-90% of our patients are Aboriginal people. Common presentations encompass first episode psychosis in youth/young adulthood, relapses of primary psychotic illnesses, mood disorders, and a focus on substance use disorders and drug-induced mood disorders.
Your Impact: As the Consultant Psychiatrist, you'll be responsible for the provision of specialized medical psychiatric services to the Broome Mental Health Unit. Your role will encompass clinical leadership, assessment, treatment, liaison, and consultation services. You'll assume clinical responsibility for BMHU staff practice and patient management standards. Your dedication to supervision, training, and instruction to junior medical staff is instrumental in shaping the future of mental healthcare in the Kimberley. As a key member of the multidisciplinary and management team for BMHU, you'll adhere to the Western Australian Mental Health Act (2014) legislation.

The WA Country Health Service (WACHS) is the largest country health service in Australia and one of the biggest in the world, providing health services to approximately half a million people, including 45,000 Aboriginal people, over a vast 2.5 million square kilometres area. WACHS hospitals provide a variety of health care services including primary health care, emergency and hospital services, population health, mental health, indigenous health, and aged care. Our dedicated and committed staff work hard to fulfil our purpose of 'working together for a healthier country WA, to deliver health services that support the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities in rural and remote Western Australia. WACHS consists of seven regions across WA with Central Office located in Perth.
WACHS Mental Health Values:
WACHS provides high quality treatment, together with culturally secure patient care, for people experiencing mental health problems. Some core areas within this scope include alcohol and substance use disorders in rural and remote Western Australia.
At WACHS, we recognise the value and importance of good mental health for people living in rural and remote areas. We understand the importance and potential impact this can have on quality of life, and the ability to contribute as ongoing members of rural communities.
Mental health problems are now the second highest disease behind cancer in Western Australia. Nationally, suicide is the leading cause of death of our young people – accounting for one-third of deaths of Australians aged 15 to 24. These figures are even higher in Aboriginal communities and other vulnerable groups.
The WACHS Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019 – 24 provides a five year framework and plan to strengthen the integration of mental health care within all regional health services, ensuring a seamless journey for the consumer and their family. It promotes integrated and supportive person-centred care which provides equitable access to high quality and contemporary mental health care, close to home and on country.
Successfully implementing the Strategy will be an iterative process across all regions. It relies on strong and collaborative leadership, innovation, and active strategic partnerships within, and external to WACHS. The regional mental health teams are supported by the WACHS Central Office Mental Health directorate.
