Access Health and Community, a trusted leader in community care for over 150 years, is expanding through an exciting merger with Inspiro Health to deliver even stronger, more accessible services across the Yarra Ranges. With a combined team of over 500 healthcare professionals and volunteers across 18 locations, we are proud partners in delivering the Victorian Government’s new Mental Health and Wellbeing Locals initiative.
Designed to offer free, voluntary, and easily accessible mental health support without the need for referrals, these services provide safe, inclusive, and community-connected care for individuals aged 26 and over, including those with co-occurring alcohol and drug support needs.
Working alongside Wellways, Eastern Health, and Oonah, we are reimagining mental health and wellbeing through a "no wrong door" approach—focused on participant choice, empowerment, and support close to home.

Embedded within a collaborative multidisciplinary team, you will deliver holistic, participant-centred care that addresses the connection between physical conditions and mental wellbeing.
Your responsibilities will include conducting comprehensive physiotherapy assessments and diagnoses, delivering evidence-based and goal-driven treatments, and empowering participants through the development and implementation of personalised Wellbeing Plans. You will also act as a key advocate, ensuring access to appropriate community and specialist supports, while engaging in local health promotion and education initiatives.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of community-based mental health services by integrating physiotherapy into a biopsychosocial model of care that truly puts people first.
