The National Perinatal and Infant Mental Health – Connect and Care Program (NPIMH-CCP) is a transformative care and navigation system.
This is a truly once in a lifetime opportunity to work with the National PIMH Connect and Care Team and engaged in the implementation and ongoing development of a new, exciting and highly impactful care navigation service with a leading non-profit parenting support service provider and alongside experienced consortium members.
The team of Perinatal Infant Mental Health place-based navigators will triage and coordinate referrals from around the country, ensuring expansive local knowledge and subsequent location-specific support pathways.
The Program will provide a national comprehensive, stepped continuum of care for parents particularly those experiencing moderate/severe PIMH concerns, supporting these families to navigate the complex and fragmented PIMH service landscape. This new model will use well-articulated triage criteria to bring national consistency, whilst maintaining place-based flexibility in an ecosystem characterised by numerous providers and services nationally.
NPIMH-CCP Navigators will be based in every state and territory at an Australian Association of Parenting and Child Health (AAPCH) partner site. Navigators will work collaboratively with each other, within their host organisation, and across the wider PIMH ecosystem in their state/territory to connect the full primary, universal, secondary and tertiary PIMH service system and policy landscape unique to each state and territory.
The Royal Society for the Welfare of Mothers and Babies, trading as Tresillian, was formed in 1918 to coordinate early child and maternal health care services in New South Wales (NSW). Tresillian is now the largest early child and family health and parenting service in Australia, operating from four sites in metropolitan Sydney and numerous regional and rural sites supporting service provision to families across NSW, Victoria and ACT.
