, with an additional
5–10 hours of indirect billable work
depending on your caseload and assessment mix.
The remainder of your working week will be dedicated to multidisciplinary collaboration, program development, referral relationships, clinical systems, community engagement and helping us build an exceptional psychology service for children, young people and families.
You will work across
4.5 days per week
, giving you the opportunity to build a meaningful career without sacrificing your entire life to it.
We welcome applications from Psychologists already living in Townsville, as well as candidates from anywhere across Australia who are considering a sea change, a leadership opportunity or the chance to help build something special.
About Townsville Education Centre
Townsville Education Centre is part of the All Access Education Group, a locally owned organisation providing tutoring, education programs, Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology and community-based events.
We are building a genuinely collaborative service where children and families can access educational, developmental and therapeutic support from a team that communicates, shares knowledge and sees the whole child.
Our multidisciplinary team includes Occupational Therapy, Speech Pathology, education professionals and an expanding range of health and developmental services.
We are not interested in creating a high-volume psychology service driven by unrealistic billable targets.
We want to create a workplace where clinicians feel trusted, supported and able to do thoughtful, ethical and meaningful work.
The role
Your week will include:
Approximately
25 hours of direct clinical work
Approximately
5–10 hours of indirect billable work
Psychological assessment and intervention for children and young people
ADHD, cognitive, learning and neurodevelopmental assessments within your experience and scope
Parent interviews, feedback sessions and collaborative care planning
Report writing, scoring,



formulation and liaison with relevant stakeholders
Working alongside Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, educators and other members of our multidisciplinary team
Developing psychology programs, resources, pathways and systems
Building relationships with families, schools, GPs, paediatricians and community organisations
Supporting the growth and direction of the psychology service
Participating in multidisciplinary case discussions and cooperative planning
Helping create a clinically strong, family-centred and sustainable service
Your caseload may include children and young people requiring support with:
ADHD and executive functioning
Autism and neurodevelopmental differences
Anxiety and emotional regulation
Behavioural and emotional concerns
School avoidance and educational disengagement
Learning difficulties
Trauma and significant life experiences
Social and interpersonal challenges
Parenting support
Psychological and cognitive assessments
Adjustment, resilience and confidence
Functional and developmental concerns
The role can be shaped around your clinical experience, assessment interests, preferred age groups and areas of professional strength.
Why join us?
A sustainable workload
We believe great psychological care requires time to think, assess, formulate, collaborate and document.
Your role will not be built around an endless calendar of back-to-back appointments.
A genuine 4.5-day week
Work across four full days and one shorter day, with the exact structure discussed during the recruitment process.
Protected indirect and assessment time
Reports, assessment scoring, formulation, parent consultation and stakeholder liaison are recognised as valuable clinical work.
You will have dedicated time to complete these responsibilities rather than routinely taking them home.
More than clinical hours
You will have paid time to help develop programs, improve systems, strengthen referral pathways and contribute to the long-term direction of the psychology service.
Genuine multidisciplinary collaboration
Work alongside experienced Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists,



educators and other professionals who understand that children and families rarely fit neatly within one professional discipline.
The opportunity to shape the service
You will not be stepping into a rigid corporate model.
Your clinical judgment, ideas and experience will help shape how psychology is delivered within our organisation.
Relocate to North Queensland
Townsville offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle, shorter commutes, access to Magnetic Island, a strong family community and more breathing room than many major cities.
Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate and can be discussed confidentially.
About you
We are looking for someone who:
Holds postgraduate qualifications in Clinical Psychology
Holds current general registration with AHPRA
Is eligible to obtain relevant Medicare provider numbers
Holds, or can obtain, a Queensland Blue Card and any other required worker screening
Has experience working with children, young people and families
Has experience in psychological assessment, intervention or both
Can complete clear, high-quality clinical reports and documentation
Communicates openly and works well within a multidisciplinary team
Values neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based and family-centred practice
Balances clinical independence with collaborative decision-making
Wants to contribute ideas rather than simply inherit a caseload
Is motivated by meaningful growth rather than high-volume billable-hour targets
Experience completing ADHD, cognitive, learning, autism or broader neurodevelopmental assessments will be highly regarded.
Experienced Psychologists are strongly encouraged to apply.
Salary and conditions
$110,000–$125,000 + superannuation
, depending on experience, endorsement and assessment capability
Permanent full-time employment
Genuine 4.5-day working week
Approximately 25 direct clinical hours per week
Approximately 5–10 indirect billable hours depending on caseload and assessment mix
Dedicated non-clinical time for collaboration, service development and business growth
Professional development and supervision support
Relocation assistance available by negotiation
Supportive, locally owned and growing organisation
Opportunity to help shape a new and expanding psychology service
Ready to build something meaningful?
All applications will be treated confidentially.
We would love to hear from Clinical Psychologists who want more than a full calendar—clinicians who want the time, trust and opportunity to make a genuine difference.
