About The Opportunity

Do meaningful clinical work with veterans, current serving Defence members and their families while being part of a supportive team of psychologists across Queensland.

Based in Townsville, home to one of Australia's largest Defence and veteran communities, you'll provide evidence-based psychological support to veterans, current serving Defence members and their families.

As a Psychologist within our Mates4Mates team, you'll primarily deliver 1:1 psychological intervention, supporting clients to navigate challenges that can arise during and after military service.
