At Breakthru, we're all about people - their goals, their potential, and their future. As a trusted leader in disability, mental health, and employment services, we empower individuals to thrive through personalised, strengths-based support.
As part of the Royal Rehab Group, you'll be backed by over 125 years of experience delivering life-changing disability and rehabilitation services. This means stability, resources, and a genuine commitment to learning, quality, and innovation.

About The Role...

In response to growing demand for FMHSS in the Bankstown area, we are expanding our team and offering a part-time position (2 days per week). This may suit someone currently studying in a relevant field and looking to build experience in early-intervention mental health.
