About the role

Running your own practice costs you more than money. It costs you time you could be spending with patients.

The average private practice psychologist spends 8–12 hours per week on admin, billing, Medicare claims, and chasing referrals. That’s one to one and a half full clinical days — unpaid.

At Synapsea, that work is ours.

You carry the clinical load. We carry everything else.

What you actually earn with us. Our registered psychologist session fee is $180. You keep 65% — $117 per session, paid to you.

Sessions per week Weekly income Annual income (48 weeks)

10 sessions $1,170 $56,160

15 sessions $1,755 $84,240

20 sessions $2,340 $112,320

25 sessions $2,925 $140,400

No invoice chasing. No software subscriptions. No room rental. No marketing spends. Those costs sit with us — not you.

What the role looks like –

100% telehealth — work from home or anywhere in Australia

You set your own hours and your own schedule

No minimum sessions. No patient quotas

We manage all Medicare billing, admin, scheduling, and patient intake

Consistent referral pipeline provided from day one

Full clinical infrastructure in place before your first session

Who we’re looking for

Registered Psychologists with current AHPRA registration

Clinicians who want private practice income without private practice overhead

Psychologists working in salaried roles earning below their market rate

Early-career psychologists wanting a supported, flexible start with a consistent caseload

Who we are –

Synapsea is a telehealth mental health clinic launching in Australia in 2026. We are building a small, carefully selected founding clinical team — psychologists who want to do serious clinical work without the administrative burden of running their own practice.

We are not a large aggregator platform. We are a focused clinic with a clear model and a founding team that has direct input into how we operate.

Founding team positions are limited.

What we cover — so you don’t have to

✔ Medicare billing and claiming

✔ Patient scheduling and reminders

✔ Intake assessments and referral management

✔ Clinical platform and telehealth infrastructure

✔ Professional indemnity insurance coverage

✔ Marketing and patient acquisition

Before you apply — a straight answer to the obvious question

“Why take 65% when I could run my own practice at 100%?”

Running your own practice at 100% means you also absorb rent, software, insurance, billing time, no-show losses, and the months it takes to build a referral pipeline. Most solo practitioners net 55–70% of their gross billings after overhead — and spend significant unpaid hours getting there.

With Synapsea, 65% is your floor, not your ceiling after costs. And your time outside sessions is yours.

If you currently work for a clinic or hospital at a lower split or a fixed salary, the comparison is more direct.
