Our team delivers psychological assessment and intervention to children, adolescents and adults across a range of inpatient and outpatient acute hospital settings.
These positions may be filled by a Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist or Health Psychologist.
In these roles, you will work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary healthcare team and contribute to high-quality, client-centred care.
