Join us in shaping healthier futures. Together we can do more.
Join the Nowra Family Care Centre as a Clinical Psychologist and play a key role in supporting families during the crucial early years of a child’s life. Family Care Centres provide short-term early intervention and support to help parents and carers build strong, secure connections with their children, while navigating challenges such as sleep and settling, adjustment to parenting, and the impact of stress, anxiety and depression. As the successful candidate in this role, you will deliver psychological assessment and therapeutic support to individuals and groups, helping families better understand their child’s development and strengthen the parent–child relationship. Working within a multidisciplinary team alongside nursing, psychology and social work colleagues, you will contribute to a coordinated, family-centred approach to care. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact during the most formative stage of life, supporting families to build confidence, resilience and positive long-term outcomes for their children.
