If you're a Health Psychologist who finds meaning in helping people rebuild their lives after injury, this role is built for you.
Core Healthcare is looking for an experienced Health Psychologist to join our multidisciplinary Allied Health team in Brisbane. You'll lead Adjustment to Injury Counselling (ATIC) and Psychological Return to Work (PRT) as part of a structured Chronic Pain Management Program — supporting patients navigating work-related injuries, motor vehicle accidents, or DVA-funded claims.
This isn't a solo practice. You'll be embedded in a genuine multidisciplinary team, working shoulder-to-shoulder with chronic pain physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, pain medicine specialists, and return-to-work rehabilitation providers to deliver holistic, evidence-based care.

What You'll Be Doing:
Your focus will be helping patients adapt — mentally and emotionally — to persistent pain, so they can rebuild function and return to meaningful work and life.
Day to day, you'll be:
Delivering ATIC therapy within a structured Pain Management Program
Conducting Psychological Return to Work (PRT) assessments and interventions for injured workers on worker's compensation
Collaborating on case reviews, treatment planning,



and outcome monitoring with your MDT colleagues
Providing a blend of face-to-face and telehealth consultations to an established patient caseload
Producing clear, timely clinical documentation — including Provider Management Plans and insurer reports — in line with worker's compensation requirements
What We Offer:
We want this to be a role you genuinely look forward to. Here's what you can expect:
Competitive remuneration reflecting your specialist skills and experience
Flexible hours — 1 to 3 days per week with flexible scheduling, or full-time if preferred
A ready-made caseload — no cold starts, no slow build
Real MDT integration — a connected, experienced team that actually collaborates
Blended delivery — face-to-face at our Brisbane or Beenleigh clinics, plus telehealth
Full admin support — so you can stay focused on your clinical work
About You:
You're a registered psychologist with a genuine passion for chronic pain and injury adjustment — someone who thrives in a collaborative setting and understands the human complexity behind every claim.
You'll bring:
Current AHPRA registration and valid professional indemnity insurance (Health Psychology endorsement preferred)
At least 5 years' experience as a psychologist
Demonstrated experience in ATIC, particularly with chronic and complex pain presentations
A solid understanding of the worker's compensation system and multidisciplinary pain programs
Interest in PRT — including functional capacity, psychosocial barriers, and goal‐oriented recovery planning
The right to live and work in Queensland
Bonus points if you're trained in EMDR — it's not essential, but it's highly valued here.
