Providing mental health screening services and recommendations to manage a large and diverse dependency consisting of military members either deployed overseas or who had recently returned to Australia. The role primarily involved coordination and scheduling of one-on-one mental health screening interviews as well as conducting these interviews. In addition to assessing the coping mechanisms and risk factors offering advice and recommendations for the management of clients suffering adjustment difficulties. The ability to engage with individuals of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds was important, as were high standards of oral and written communication skills.
