Wayne Burgoine
OO-CAMHS Developer and Trainer
Wayne is a Senior Clinical Psychologist and Team Manager for the Bairnsdale and Sale CAMHS teams based in the rural and remote regions of Victoria in Australia. As the lead clinician in such a huge geographical area, he is focused on finding innovative ways to support the mental health and well-being of the young people who live across this region. After working for over 6 years in UK CAMHS teams in Lincolnshire, he emigrated to Australia in July 2011, and is now bringing some of the new and innovative ideas that were developed with the UK teams to the other side of the planet. In particular, he is still working with the OO-CAMHS team in Lincolnshire, not only to support the development of the new model in the UK, but also to help to show its applicability to Australian clinical populations too. He welcomes any contact with other clinicians or researchers in Australia who share these interests. Reach Wayne at: [email protected]view less
