Job Description

• Multiple locations and office space available  
• Flexibility to work days & hours that suit you

Our headspace Pakenham, Knox, Lilydale, Dandenong & Narre Warren teams are seeking expressions of interest from Registered Psychologists with FULL AHPRA registration to provide private practice services and deliver focused psychological strategies to young people aged 12-25.  

headspace is the National Youth Mental Health Foundation, acting as a one-stop-shop for young people seeking support with mental health, drug and alcohol, primary health and vocational/educational issues.

These positions are located on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation.

These roles come with great flexibility to ensure that you get the best of both worlds; you can maintain your existing private or public work and provide contracted services to us for as little as one day each week. This provides a great opportunity for you to expand your scope and provide additional support to the community during these difficult times.

There are always referrals and no rent charges, and you’ll have the flexibility to work across multiple locations with allocated office space that is available for you to use.

What you’ll be doing
You will be providing high standard, person-centered counselling and focused psychological strategies to young people with mental health concerns. You will work closely with our multidisciplinary team members as needed to coordinate care. 

As a contractor, you will have a referral base of young people who have been assessed and are ready to access services. In addition, you will be supported with;  

1. Full administrative support (including reception, billings, appointment bookings and reminder service)
2. Fully web-based medical record software with IT support 
3. Co-located General Practitioners
