• A Bachelor qualification in Counselling, Social Work, Psychology, or a related field

• Experience delivering mental health counselling using evidence‑based and trauma‑informed approaches

• Professional membership (ACA, PACFA, APS, or AASW)

• A current Queensland Blue Card and driver’s licence

Experience working in domestic and family violence or with vulnerable communities will be highly regarded.
