Get a life on the north coast

Director, Mental Health, Richard Buss

Welcome from Mental Health Services Director, Richard Buss.

North Coast Mental Health Services are continuing to expand and current services will be enhanced to provide innovative and progressive service models.

"Opportunities exist for well motivated mental health professionals to join the mental health teams across the whole area."

Inpatient mental health services are located in Tweed Heads, Lismore, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie.  Specialist services such as a 20 bed Intensive Rehabilitation Unit is located in Coffs Harbour and a Child and Adolescent Unit in Lismore. Opportunities for Medical, Nursing and Allied Health staff are available in these acute and specialist inpatient facilities.  Within the community setting there is an expansion of services to all age ranges.  There are specialist mental health programs for Older Persons, Young Persons and Rehabilitation Services.  There are opportunities for professionals to become part of these exciting and innovative services.

As a rural health service the North Coast Area Health Service mental health service is innovative in the approaches to both the needs of its employees and the way in which services are delivered.  These current service expansions offer you a chance to become part of a vibrant and expanding team, coupled with a beautiful natural environment within easy reach of larger metropolitan centres.

"I enjoy living on the North Coast and working with other mental health professionals.  I am proud of the caring and hard working staff and of the services they provide.  In considering your career and future the mental health services of the North Coast may be the best choice."

Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to know more about Mental Health Services in the North Coast Area Health Service.

I look forward to the possibility of working with you in the future to continue the expansion of mental health services.
