Are you interested in working with us as a Therapy Assistant or Counsellor? Do you have experience in mental health, are fluent in Auslan and have experience working with Deaf and hard of hearing people?
Then we would love to hear from you.
Karli Health Centre offers counselling and access to a multi-disciplinary team providing mental health support. Our unique approach incorporates counselling as well as yoga principles. Services can be offered in either Auslan or English.
You may wonder why providing services in Auslan is important to us; in fact, it is our passion. On a daily basis, deaf people face barriers not only to communication but also access to many services that most of us take for granted. This is even more so for those who use Auslan as their primary language.
