We’re currently recruiting for an Counsellor to join a well-established, welcoming not-for-profit community-based mental health service in Cairns. This is an opportunity to provide accessible, trauma-informed support to individuals and families while working alongside a multidisciplinary team and broader community services.

About the Role

You’ll provide brief intervention, counselling, care coordination and referrals to people experiencing mental health concerns, AOD challenges, distress or crisis.
The service provides a low-stigma, accessible alternative to emergency departments, offering immediate, short and medium-term support before connecting people with ongoing services.
