Job description

About Epsychiatry:

At Epsychiatry, we’re redefining psychiatric care by integrating clinical expertise with digital innovation to improve access to high-quality mental health services. Founded in 2019 and led by a psychiatrist alongside two software developers, we provide telepsychiatry services for a broad range of conditions, including ADHD, mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and other psychiatric presentations.

Whether you're nearing the end of registrar training, restricted by the 19AB moratorium, seeking a structured and efficient remote practice, or a retired psychiatrist looking to return to a limited clinical workload, we offer flexible opportunities tailored to your preferences. From the outset, we work with you to shape your caseload, referral flow, and session structure in a way that supports your goals.

Why Contract with Epsychiatry

Transparent Remuneration: We offer a clear and consistent service fee of 20.5% plus GST. Our psychiatrists average $860 per hour in billings, resulting in a net income of approximately $665 per hour after service fees and GST. For a seven-hour clinical day, this equates to a take-home of around $4,700 per day. Learn more about potential earnings using the fee calculator on our Epsychiatry homepage: www.epsychiatry.com.au.

Structured Practices:Over 96% of our initial appointments fall under the telehealth equivalent billing code 296, rather than item 291. Unparalleled Flexibility: Start with a minimal commitment of just 1 hour per week, scaling freely to your preferred schedule—ranging from 1 to 35+ hours weekly—with the freedom to work weekends and evenings. With no long-term obligations, you can adjust or step away at your convenience, supported by a simple four-week notice period.

Robust Referral Network: Benefit from our select network of over 1,750+ accredited GP clinics.

Autonomy in Rejecting Referrals: As a contractor there is no obligation to accept a referral. Referrals require your approval before client registration. Additionally, if you require more information from a client or GP before making a decision, our team facilitates that communication on your behalf.

Thriving Growth & Steady Workload: As of April 2025, Epsychiatry has achieved a 23% year-on-year increase in monthly appointments. Over the past 12 months, we’ve facilitated more than 6,000 appointments, ensuring a robust and consistent patient flow for our psychiatrists. With clients averaging over 3 appointments annually, you can focus on ongoing therapeutic work rather than constant new intakes.

Clinician Retention Rates: Our psychiatrists and clinical psychologists typically find long-term satisfaction at Epsychiatry, with current average engagement of 2.5 and 4 years, respectively.

Clinician Coordinator: Work seamlessly with a dedicated1:1 admin coordinator, a single contact for both you and your clients, ensuring efficient communication.

Full Suite of Services: Our all-inclusive offering covers booking, billing, and bookkeeping, allowing you to focus entirely on clinical care—free from administrative burden. Our onboarding process supports you from the outset with software setup and familiarisation with clinic processes.

Software Flexibility:Recognising the varied preferences, Epsychiatry supports the use of different medical software and videoconferencing tools by our clinicians. Let us know your preferences at the time of application.

Leave Flexibility:Epsychiatry has successfully supported psychiatrists taking extended leave, including absences of 6 months or more. A long-standing team of psychiatrists—supported by dedicated 1:1 admin coordinators, whom clients often know by name, and proprietary scheduling tools—ensures seamless client management during these periods.
