For 57 years, Doncare has been a trusted part of our community, supporting people through counselling, case management, family violence recovery, emergency relief and community programs. Along the way, we have seen how long waitlists, high gap fees and limited local services keep psychological support out of reach, leaving many people without help until crisis point.
That is why we are launching CARE Psychology Services: affordable, timely access to qualified psychologists, woven into Doncare’s holistic, wrap-around support.
We are currently finalising our seed funding for this exciting new Doncare service offering as well as establishing the connections, referrals and processes to make this new exciting service a success.
We are now taking expressions of interest from experienced Clinical Psychologists who want to be part of an adaptable community organisation that puts holistic, wrap around support at the heart of their services. If you are interested in building a new service and supporting clients facing complex challenges (such as family violence, financial hardship, comorbid diagnoses) in a community setting we would love to hear from you.
In this role you will hold a caseload of Medicare and privately funded clients delivering trauma-informed, person centred and culturally safe psychological interventions to improve their health and wellbeing. Beyond your own caseload, you will provide clinical supervision and mentoring to psychologists and counsellors at different career stages, fostering reflective practice, clinical confidence and professional growth. You will also contribute to clinical governance and service development, helping to build a strong learning culture.
The Senior Clinical Psychologist will be a 0.8EFT role with 0.6 EFT allocated to direct client work and 0.2 EFT to broader leadership and supervision of the counselling program. The anticipated start date is late January 2027.
To be eligible, you will need current registration as a Psychologist with a Clinical Psychology endorsement from the Psychology Board of Australia (PsyBA). Psychology Board approved supervisor status, or a willingness to obtain it, is desirable.
