Psychologist (Townsville)

_{19th August, 2026}

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.
 
While you'll manage your own clinical caseload, you'll also be part of a Queensland-wide team of 8 psychologists across Townsville, Ipswich, Sunshine Coast and Stafford. We value coming together to share knowledge, engage in reflection, participate in supervision and support one another.
 
This is an opportunity to combine clinical autonomy, professional growth and genuine purpose while supporting those who have served Australia and the people closest to them.
