Your opportunity 

You have the exciting opportunity to be a part of a newly established service in Queensland - the Perinatal Acute Mental Health Hospital in the Home (PAMH-HITH). Deliver high quality evidenced based perinatal mental health psychology clinical services to consumers, carers/supporters and infants as part of a high functioning acute mental health multi-disciplinary team.  

Perinatal Acute Mental Health Hospital in the Home (PAMH-HITH) 

The Perinatal Acute Mental Health Hospital in The Home program (PAMH-HITH) is a virtual bed admission program designed to deliver time-limited, intensive multi-disciplinary treatment for women and birthing people experiencing moderate to severe perinatal mental illness during pregnancy or within the first 12 months following birth.  Consumers received hospital-equivalent care in their home environment rather than within a traditional inpatient unit or Mother and Baby Unit (MBU) in order to receive intensive care whilst remaining with their infant/s, their family and cultural environment, and connected to community and social supports.
