Mental health jobs in Brisbane, QLD

Queensland Health operates mental health services through its Hospital and Health Services (HHSs), with Metro North HHS and Metro South HHS covering the greater Brisbane metropolitan area. Both operate large community mental health services, acute inpatient units, and specialist services across disciplines. Queensland has also invested significantly in peer support and lived experience roles in recent years.

Brisbane has a strong and growing NGO sector, with organisations including Micah Projects, Lives Lived Well, Wesley Mission Queensland, and Richmond Fellowship Queensland providing community-based mental health, AOD, and homelessness services. headspace has multiple centres in greater Brisbane, and the NDIS has driven expansion of psychosocial support providers.

South-east Queensland's continued population growth — particularly in Logan, Ipswich, and the Moreton Bay region — creates strong and ongoing demand for mental health workers across community and NDIS settings. These outer areas often offer more accessible housing and a less competitive job market than inner Brisbane.
