In addition to delivering therapeutic services, the role will contribute to the broader program objective of building the evidence base for creative therapies in the Australian primary care setting. The Creative Therapist will support the collection of both qualitative and quantitative data to inform evaluation of service demand, clinical efficacy, and future service planning.
