We are seeking a fully qualified Psychologist to join our established and supportive team in a part-time capacity.
This role is ideal for someone who is either:
Looking to transition into private practice but not quite ready to leave the stability of their current NGO or government role, or
Moving into a semi-retirement phase and wanting meaningful, clinically engaging work without the demands of running a business, or
Ready for a change of pace into a more stimulating, client-focused environment where your skills are valued and well supported.
At Emerald Tree Counselling and Consulting, we understand that clinical work is only one part of a fulfilling professional life. We take care of the administrative load, client referrals, systems, and operational structure so you can focus on what you trained for — delivering high-quality therapeutic care.

Days: Thursday and Friday
Hours: 10:00am – 5:30pm (with flexibility to increase hours after an initial period, if desired)

Clinical Focus Areas Include:
Employee Assistance Programs (EAP)
NDIS
Trauma-informed therapy
Medicare-rebated psychological services
DVA and Veteran populations
A range of presentations across age groups
What We Offer:
Steady flow of referred clients — no need to build a caseload from scratch
Administrative, billing, and scheduling support
A collaborative and professionally respectful team environment
Opportunity to focus on clinical work without business development pressures
Flexibility to grow your hours over time if and when it suits you
A practice with a strong reputation in the community for quality care across mental health, disability, aged care, and complex presentations
What We’re Looking For:
Full registration as a Psychologist with AHPRA
Experience in delivering evidence-based psychological interventions
A warm, professional, and client-centred approach
Ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team
Commitment to ethical, high-quality practice
If you’ve been considering a move into private practice but want the reassurance of structure, support, and an established client base — or you’re seeking a more balanced and meaningful pace of work — we’d love to hear from you.
