Job Description

Psychologist – First Responders & Trauma | Private Practice | Campbelltown NSW

n

Inner Space Psychological Services – Leumeah NSW

n

At Inner Space Psychological Services, much of our work is with police, paramedics, firefighters, military personnel and their families. These are clients who are often high-functioning, psychologically curious, and deeply appreciative of care that is direct, practical, and genuine. Alongside this, we support members of the broader community with equal commitment.

n

Our clients appreciate our down-to-earth approach and the welcoming experience created by our team. We are a small, senior, and close-knit practice with the appreciation of keeping things straightforward.

n

We're expanding our team of clinicians and welcome applications from Psychologists (general or clinically endorsed), Mental Health Social Workers, and appropriately qualified/accredited Counsellors (ACA/PACFA-registered).

n

What the Role Looks Like

n

Working one-on-one with adults is the core of the work. There is also the opportunity to work with young people if desired.

n

Variety of presentations and referral types, based on skill and particular areas of interest

n

Some assessment work is possible if you have the skills and interest in this area, particularly for neurodivergence in military and first responder populations.

n

3–5 days per week subcontractor position (genuinely flexible — we'll work around the right person).

n

Located primarily onsite at our Leumeah rooms as our clients generally prefer to see us in-person. However, some work-from-home hours can be negotiated.

n

A steady, well-managed caseload from day one — referrals are consistent and well-matched

n

Full onsite admin support: bookings, billing,



and practice management are handled so you can focus on clinical work

n

Collaborative work alongside a small group of experienced clinicians who are equally committed to this client group

n

You'll Thrive Here If You Are...

n

A fully registered psychologist (general, clinical, or equivalent quals) with some experience working with first responders, emergency services, and/or military clients or have knowledge of the uniqueness of these populations.

n

Grounded and pragmatic — you understand the culture, you don't over-pathologise, and you know how to build trust with clients who are often reluctant help-seekers

n

Skilled in trauma-focused therapies — experience with EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, and/or ACT is highly regarded

n

Self-sufficient, easygoing, and straightforward — you manage your caseload well independently but genuinely value being part of a collegial, experienced team

n

Values-aligned — you're here because this work matters to you, not as a stopgap

n

What We Offer

n

Potential to earn in excess of $200k p/a as an independent contractor depending on hours, experience, and preferred referral types.

n

Flexible days and hours — 3 to 5 days per week, shaped around you

n

Consistent referrals so you're not building a caseload from scratch

n

Full admin support so your time is protected for clinical work

n

A genuinely supportive, non-hierarchical team culture with no KPIs or micromanagement

n

A caseload you'll find professionally stimulating and personally meaningful

n

Access to peer group consultations if desired.

n

Qualifications

n

AHPRA registered, without restriction (or equivalant)

n

SIRA registered or willing to obtain it

n

Training in EMDR and other trauma therapies is highly regarded for this work
