About Amaze
Amaze is working to create a more autism-inclusive Australia where Autistic people and their families can live fulfilling, self-directed lives.
For nearly 60 years, we have supported Autistic people, families and carers while also driving change across systems, communities and organisations. We are home to Autism Connect, Australia's national autism information, advice and referral service, and deliver services, inclusion programs, advocacy and community initiatives that help create meaningful change.
As we continue to grow, we are expanding our Individual Autism Supports practice and are looking for a Psychologist who shares our commitment to neuroaffirming, person-led and accessible support.
About the Role
This is an exciting prospect to join a growing service and help shape how psychological supports are delivered at Amaze.
As a Psychologist within Individual Autism Supports, you will provide neuroaffirming psychological assessment, therapeutic support and consultation to Autistic people and other neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan.
This role is not about changing Autistic people to fit into a non-Autistic world.
Instead, you will work alongside individuals to support:
- self-understanding and identity
- wellbeing and mental health
- life transitions
- strengths, goals and support needs
- access to meaningful opportunities, relationships and supports
You will deliver services through a combination of telehealth and in-person appointments and contribute to the ongoing development of a service model informed by contemporary evidence,
community feedback and Autistic lived experience. Why Join Amaze?
Flexibility That Works For You
We recognise that excellent psychologists work in different ways, and we want to build a workplace that enables people to do their best work.
We're open to discussing
- Part-time or full time arrangements (0.6-1.0 FTE)
- Flexible hours and work patterns
- Hybrid working arrangements
- Hobart or Melbourne based positions
- Individual workplace adjustments
- Balancing telehealth and in-person service delivery
We focus on quality, wellbeing and outcomes, rather than rigid ways of working.
Help Build Something New
This is a unique opportunity to influence and shape a growing area of Amaze's work.
Your expertise, insights and ideas will help develop a service that reflects the needs and priorities of Autistic people and their families.
