Psychologist or Accredited Mental Health Social Worker | Contractor

$106–$152 per session + super | Full admin support | Established referrals | Versatile days

What if around 15 hours per week could provide earnings comparable to a traditional 38-hour employed role?

At Deep Speak, our contractor model is designed for clinicians who want strong earning potential, flexibility and autonomy, without the significant overheads and unpaid hours that can come with running your own practice.

Because seeing clients is only one part of working independently. There’s also admin, bookings, billing, marketing, referrals, software, systems, accounting, rooms and all the other hats you end up wearing outside your billable hours.

With us, you get to focus on being the clinician.

What We Offer

$106–$152 Per Session + Superannuation

Earn $106–$152 per client session, depending on the service stream, plus superannuation.

15 client sessions per week can provide earnings comparable to some traditional 38-hour employed roles.

And you can structure those hours in a way that works for you.

Prefer to work fewer, fuller days? You might choose to see 5–7 clients a day across 2–3 days per week.

Prefer shorter days spread across the week? That works too.

Want to see more clients and work more days and increase your earning potential? You can do that.

You choose your days, your hours and the size of your caseload.

Established Referrals

We’ve spent six years building strong relationships with GPs, workplaces, insurers, allied health professionals and the Townsville community, resulting in consistent referral demand.

Full Administration Support

Our admin team supports client enquiries, onboarding, bookings, reminders, billing and day-to-day clinic operations.

Less unpaid admin. Fewer hats to wear. More time back.

No Practice Overheads to Manage

Consulting rooms, administration, practice management systems, technology, telehealth capability, AI-assisted documentation tools and clinic resources are provided.





You can finish your clinical day without starting another unpaid shift managing everything behind it.

Flexibility + Autonomy

This is a model that can fit around your life, rather than requiring your life to fit around work.

Condense your clinical work into 2–3 days, spread your sessions across the week, or build a larger caseload if that’s what you want.

The opportunity is there to work less, work differently, or earn more.
