About the Role Multiple ongoing sessional positions available, plus After-Hours On-Call as rostered With the establishment of the new Women's & Perinatal Mental Health Unit, there is a clearly identified need for the provision of increased psychiatric service delivery to women's, maternity and newborn services at Monash Health.
The Women's & Perinatal Mental Health Unit provides specialist evidence-informed, integrated and interdisciplinary care to women with mental health co-morbidity receiving reproductive, gynaecological and gynae-oncology care, to parents with infants admitted to neonatology services who require assessment and short term management, and to parents who experience moderate to severe mental illness in the perinatal period.
It has an overarching flexible and inclusive approach to support individual parents, as well as parent-infant relationships, infant wellbeing and the family system as needed.
The Monash Mental Health Program is a leader in research, education and training, and the new Women's and Perinatal Mental Health Unit will build the capacity of mental health services to deliver effective and expert care to parents with mental illness in the perinatal period.
