Wellbeing and Mental Health Coordinator

Melbourne, Florida, United States Schools (Government) Full time
About the Role

The Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System highlighted the importance of identifying children with mental health and wellbeing challenges in primary schools, enabling them to receive timely treatment, care, and support.

To address this, the Department of Education is expanding the Mental Health in Primary Schools initiative to every government and low-fee non-government primary school in Victoria. By 2026, every primary school will be able to employ a Mental Health and Wellbeing Leader to implement a whole-school approach to wellbeing.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing, promoting a positive and supportive school environment.
  • Support teachers and school staff to expand their capacity to embed evidence-based mental health strategies, interventions, and programs, and build mental health literacy to identify and support primary school students with mental health concerns.
  • Collaborate with school staff to inform, influence, and provide input into teaching and learning relating to mental health and wellbeing, and provide support to build their capabilities to embed mental health into the classroom.
  • Work with school leadership and wellbeing teams to embed whole-school approaches to mental health into school planning and strategic processes, and coordinate clear referral pathways internally and externally for students identified as requiring further assessment and intervention.
  • Proactively work with and support regional staff, school wellbeing and leadership teams, teachers, parents/carers, and other external agencies to coordinate targeted mental health support for primary school students.
  • Contribute to the school's existing wellbeing team, promoting a collaborative and supportive environment.
Requirements
  • Currently registered or eligible for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching and qualified to teach.
  • A qualification in student wellbeing or mental health is desirable but not required.
