About us

Therapea Health is a busy, growing multidisciplinary allied health practice providing Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology and Counselling services. The practice is professional without being corporate; friendly without being casual about responsibilities; and committed to providing excellent care without losing sight of the human beings at the centre of it.

KPIs for General Registered Psychologists are designed to be achievable and sustainable, based on approximately 5.5 billable hours per day, allowing appropriate time for administration, assessment work, professional development and collaboration. An experienced and committed administration team manages appointment scheduling and all client queries and calls, allowing clinicians to concentrate on supporting their clients.

Above all, we’re looking for someone who will fit comfortably into a happy, cohesive team. Our culture is friendly and relaxed, but we take our clinical responsibilities and quality of care seriously.

Hours and flexibility

The position is initially 3 days per week in-clinic at our Werribee practice.

Once your caseload reaches capacity, there is scope to increase your hours if desired through additional clinic days, or work from home, depending on the nature of the work and the needs of the practice.

We’re interested in building a long-term relationship with the right psychologist, rather than simply filling days on a roster.
