n
Thinking About Private Practice? You Don't Have to Figure It Out Alone.
n
Perhaps you've spent the past few years developing your skills in government, community mental health, a hospital, occupational rehabilitation or another structured setting-and you're wondering whether private practice could be your next step.
n
You want more autonomy, flexibility and variety, but you don't want to give up the security, supervision and team connection you're used to.
n
That's where Lighthouse is different.
n
We're looking for a warm, capable and curious
registered psychologist
who has solid clinical foundations and wants somewhere they can continue to grow.
n
We welcome
generally registered psychologists, clinical psychologists and clinical psychology registrars
. Around five years' experience would be ideal, but we're more interested in your capability, curiosity and fit with our team than an exact number of years.
n
And if you're new to private practice?
We won't throw you in the deep end.
Why Lighthouse? n
We've been established for
11 years
, continue to grow, and have a strong referral network providing consistent clinical work.
n
This is a
permanent role
within a team of approximately
24 clinicians and 6 administration staff
. We're particularly proud of our staff retention-with some team members celebrating
10 years with Lighthouse this year
.

What Will Your Week Look Like? n
Your focus will be providing high-quality psychological therapy to adults across a diverse range of presentations.
n
You'll work across
Campbelltown and Moorebank
, seeing clients face-to-face and via telehealth, with referrals across Medicare, SIRA and NDIS.
n
You'll formulate and deliver evidence-based treatment, collaborate with GPs and other health professionals, complete clinical documentation and participate in supervision and case consultation.
n
Our preferred hours are around
10am-6pm
, but there's flexibility. Start earlier, finish earlier or arrange your clients differently across the day-we want you to build a calendar that is sustainable and workable for you.
n
You'll have autonomy,
without working in isolation
.
We Set You Up to Thrive n
Moving into private practice involves learning new systems, funding streams and ways of working. We don't expect you to arrive knowing all of them.
n
Our onboarding is
structured and thorough
, with time to learn our systems, processes, clinical expectations and workflows before finding your rhythm.
n
Your existing skills are transferable.
We'll help you bridge the gap into private practice.
n
You'll also have access to experienced clinicians, senior psychologists, our Clinical Director, Practice Manager and administration team when you need support.
Keep Growing n
We're big on professional development and practical clinical learning.
n
Training opportunities
may
include things like:
n
n
n
Clinical and psychometric assessment
n
n
Comprehensive risk assessment
n
n
DBT and group facilitation
n
n
Schema Therapy
n
n
Case formulation and complex presentations
n
n
And if you're interested in progressing your career, future opportunities may include




supervising provisional psychologists, facilitating group supervision, leading DBT groups, providing clinical training or stepping into a Clinical Lead role
.
n
There's room to grow-but no expectation that you need to want all of that now.
The Lighthouse Culture n
We're serious about clinical care, but considerably less serious about ourselves.
n
We're a
fun, creative, supportive and down-to-earth team
. There's laughter, collaboration, plenty of shared problem-solving and the occasional bit of black humour that probably only mental health professionals understand.
n
We value
Respect, Accountability, Growth, Connection, Courage and Excellence
and want people who care about doing excellent work while also being human.
Could This Be You? n
You'll need:
n
n
n
Full AHPRA registration as a
Psychologist
n
n
General registration, clinical endorsement or clinical registrar status
n
n
Medicare registered (we can kick this off with you)
n
n
SIRA eligibility (we can support your training here)
n
n
Experience working therapeutically with adults
n
n
Sound evidence-based practice and formulation skills
n
n
Warmth, professionalism and emotional maturity
n
n
A reflective approach and openness to feedback and supervision
n
n
A genuine desire to be part of a collaborative team
n
n
Recent to private practice? Please don't let that stop you applying.
Applying Is Easy n
No complicated hoops.
n
Simply send your
CV and a brief cover letter
telling us about you and what you're looking for to:
n
Veronica Cook Clinical Director
What happens next? n
If your application looks like a potential match, we'll arrange a
15-minute phone chat
to get to know each other and answer any initial questions.
n
You may then be invited to meet with our
Clinical Director and Practice Manager
.
n
It's a
friendly conversation, not an interrogation
. We want to understand what you bring, where you'd like to grow and whether Lighthouse feels right for you too.
n
Bring your experience, curiosity and willingness to grow. We'll provide the support, structure and team to help you thrive.
