Psychologist - Permanent Part-Time

Location: Canberra, ACT.

Remuneration: $58–$65 per hour + superannuation + allowances. This role includes paid leave entitlements.
Typical earnings for this part time role range from approximately $39,000–$66,000 per year (plus superannuation) depending on your agreed hourly rate and working pattern (2–3 days/week), plus benefits.

We're looking for a friendly, confident and professional Psychologist to join our small and experienced private practice team.

We are passionate about providing high-quality psychological care and creating a workplace where psychologists can do their best work with realistic expectations and professional autonomy.

This role would suit a psychologist who enjoys working with a high degree of autonomy, takes pride in their professional and ethical standards, and is looking for flexibility alongside the security of permanent employment.

About Us

Good Health Psychology is a boutique private practice based in Hawker, ACT. We are a small, established team of experienced clinicians who value professionalism, collaboration, and quality clinical care.

Our practice manages marketing, referral sourcing, intake, and client triage, allowing psychologists to primarily focus on delivering excellent services to clients. We believe in trusting our clinicians to manage their work professionally and independently while remaining connected to a supportive team environment.

The Role

This is a permanent part-time position offering approximately 2–3 days per week. There is the potential for this role expanding in the future, if this is mutually desirable.

One of the benefits of our practice is genuine flexibility. We are open to a variety of working arrangements, including:

• School-hours only

• Morning or afternoon-only schedules

• Evening sessions

• Weekend sessions

• Fixed or flexible workdays

We understand that psychologists have different interests, family or life commitments, and preferred ways of working, and we are happy to discuss a schedule that works for both you and the practice.

You will have the opportunity to develop a caseload aligned with your interests and areas of competence wherever possible, while also working with clients across the lifespan experiencing a range of common mental health presentations.

We are committed to sustainable workloads for maintaining quality clinical care and career sustainability. Most psychologists in our practice see around 5 clients per day between 9am-4pm, allowing sufficient time for session preparation, clinical administration, case planning, correspondence, and other professional responsibilities. Working days and hours can be structured flexibly. Psychologists who wish to work longer or shorter days may take on a different number of appointments. You are welcome to discuss arrangements that suit your goals and availability.

Our focus is on maintaining a manageable workload that allows clinicians to provide thoughtful, high-quality care while also completing documentation and other professional responsibilities during their workday.

What We Offer

• $58-65 per hour plus superannuation. Salary will be determined based on experience, clinical skills, and level of independence, with opportunities for remuneration review as clinicians develop within the practice. The top of this range would be offered to a psychologist who can confidently manage their own caseload, exercise sound professional judgement, and work independently within a supportive team environment.

• Paid annual leave and personal leave

• Genuinely flexible working arrangements

• $2000 annual professional development and supervision allowance

• Salary equivalent to approximately $128,000 FTE plus super and benefits (at $65 per hour)

• Established referral pathways and consistent client demand

• Practice-managed marketing, intake, and triage

• Administrative support for client scheduling and follow-up

• Professional development and supervision allowance

• Comfortable and modern clinic aesthetic

• Supportive and experienced team environment

About You

Applications are open to all Psychologists interested in this role. The ideal candidate would be:

• A registered Psychologist with AHPRA

• Eligibility for a Medicare Provider Number.

• Current Working with Vulnerable People (WWVP) registration for the ACT.

• Friendly, approachable, and professional approach to client care

• Confident working independently

• Organised, reliable, and diligent

• Committed to ethical and evidence-based practice

• Comfortable managing your own caseload with minimal day-to-day supervision

• Able to communicate effectively with clients, families, referrers, and other stakeholders

While support is always available when needed, this role is best suited to a psychologist who enjoys taking ownership of their work and does not require regular direction or daily management.

Desirable Experience

We would welcome psychologists who have experience working with clients across the lifespan and across a variety of general presentations.

We welcome psychologists who, in addition to the above, have an area of special interest they would like to work in or develop.

Though not essential, we would particularly welcome applications from psychologists who:

• Have experience working with children and adolescents; or

• Have a genuine interest in developing skills in child and adolescent practice

Experience with NDIS participants and private practice work will also be viewed favourably.
