We are looking for psychologists who are committed to delivering high-quality, client-focused care, demonstrates strong communication and interpersonal skills, and enjoys working collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.

The Community Health and Integrated Care (CHIC) delivers integrated and effective rehabilitation, aged care and community-based services across a range of locations throughout the ACT. Working within a multidisciplinary environment, the Psychology and Counselling team provides evidence-based assessment and intervention services to adults across inpatient and outpatient settings.

Under the limited direction of the Manager, CHIC Psychology and Counselling Service, you will play a vital role in promoting positive client outcomes through the delivery of high-quality psychological assessment, intervention and consultation services. You will provide care to clients engaged in inpatient and ambulatory rehabilitation, aged care services, and the Pain Management Unit, supporting individuals to achieve improved health, wellbeing and quality of life.

In this role, you will apply your clinical knowledge and skills across a diverse range of presentations, delivering both individual and group-based interventions. You will work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, contribute to health promotion and education activities, and develop strong professional networks to support integrated care.
