Psychologist | $105k–$155k Package | Flexible Full or Part Time

Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic – Sippy Downs QLD

Sippy Downs & Maroochydore | 2–5 Days | Employee or Contractor

Sippy Downs & Maroochydore | 2–5 Days | Employee or Contractor

Be a psychologist. We'll take care of the practice around you.

If you enjoy the autonomy and variety of private practice but don't want to spend your time finding referrals, managing appointments, dealing with accounts or running the business behind your clinical work, we'd like to talk to you.

Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic is an established, locally owned psychology practice operating across Sippy Downs and Maroochydore since 2007, and we're looking for great psychologists to join our growing clinical team.

Rather than advertising one narrowly defined vacancy, we're open to building the right position around the right clinician.

We're interested in hearing from psychologists looking for:

• Full-time or part-time employment

• Approximately 2–5 days per week

• Sippy Downs, Maroochydore, or a combination of both locations

• A role that can be shaped around your experience, clinical interests and preferred client groups

Employment is our preferred engagement model, providing the security and simplicity of being part of an established practice without needing to run your own business.

However, we recognise that experienced private-practice psychologists may prefer to work as independent contractors. For the right clinician, we're very open to discussing a contractor arrangement as well.

We currently have our greatest opportunity for additional clinical capacity at Sippy Downs, with opportunities also available within our Maroochydore team.

So whether you're looking for five days, three days or perhaps only two days each week, don't rule yourself out because you don't fit a predetermined roster.

For the right psychologist, we'd rather have a conversation and work out what could work for both of us.

Remuneration

We believe in being upfront about remuneration.

For employed positions, our Total Remuneration Package (TRP), including superannuation, ranges from approximately $105,000 to $155,000 FTE, depending on registration, experience, clinical capability and the position.

As a guide:

• General Psychologists: approximately $105,000–$135,000 FTE including superannuation

• Clinical Psychologists: packages may extend to approximately $155,000 FTE including superannuation, depending on experience and capability

Part‑time remuneration is paid on a pro‑rata basis.

Contractor remuneration is structured differently and can be discussed with candidates interested in that model.

Why join SCPC?

Private practice should provide autonomy without leaving you to do everything yourself.

At SCPC you'll have:

• An established and consistent flow of referrals

• A highly experienced administration and reception team

• Full diary, billing and client administration support

• Professional consulting rooms across two Sunshine Coast locations

• Flexibility around your working days and location

• Autonomy over your clinical work

• A broad and varied referral base

• The ability to shape your caseload around your clinical interests and strengths

• Opportunities to provide therapy and/or psychological assessment

• Experienced psychologists around you for peer support and consultation

• Established systems and practice infrastructure

• The stability of a well‑established practice that's been part of the Sunshine Coast community since 2007

• A locally family owned practice where the people making the decisions actually know you

You get the professional autonomy and variety that makes private practice attractive, without having to build and operate a private practice yourself.

Who we're looking for

You’ll need:

• General registration as a Psychologist with AHPRA

• Eligibility for a Medicare provider number

• Strong clinical and interpersonal skills

• An ethical, evidence-based and client‑centred approach

• The ability to work autonomously while enjoying being part of a larger team

Experience in private practice is valuable, but it isn't essential.

We're also very happy to hear from recently fully registered psychologists who are ready to establish themselves in private practice with an experienced team and administration structure around them.

Additional experience or training in areas such as trauma, EMDR, neurodiversity, across the lifespan is welcomed – but we're much more interested in finding an excellent clinician and colleague than somebody who ticks every possible box.

About Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic

Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic has been providing psychological services to the Sunshine Coast community since 2007.

Today, we're a substantial locally owned and family‑run practice operating across Sippy Downs and Maroochydore, with a team of experienced psychologists, allied health clinicians and administration professionals.

We're large enough to provide the referral pathways, systems, administration and professional support that make private practice work well, while remaining local, accessible and personally connected to our team.

Our Practice Director Shona, Principal Clinical Psychologist Didi, our management team and experienced administration staff work together to create an environment where clinicians can build sustainable careers and concentrate on providing excellent clinical care.

You don't need to be actively job hunting to talk to us

Perhaps you're reasonably happy where you are but curious about what else is available.

Maybe you're working in private practice as a sole practitioner and would like somebody else to take care of the business and administration.

Maybe you're considering moving from public health, or another clinical setting into private practice.

Or perhaps you're simply ready for a change.

You don't need to submit a formal application just to find out more.

You're very welcome to contact Adrian King, Managing Director, directly for a private and confidential conversation about the opportunities available, remuneration, locations, days or what a role at SCPC could look like for you.

Email: ******@scpc.net.au

If you're a good psychologist looking for the right private‑practice environment, we'd genuinely like to hear from you.
