Love clinical work but not the paperwork? Sunflower Services, a female-founded registered NDIS provider, is looking for Psychologist contractors to join our team. You’ll be part of something new and exciting as we expand into allied health.
You’ll be your own boss. You set your own hours, work from wherever suits you and practise your way, supporting participants via telehealth, in the community or from your desired space. We market your services and build your caseload under the Sunflower name, and we handle billing, claiming and compliance so you can focus on your clients.

You’ll work within our clinical governance framework, backed by the wider Sunflower team.

- A valid driver’s licence and comprehensive car insurance for home and community visits

About us
Sunflower Services is a female-founded and female-led registered NDIS provider (Registration No. ) helping people live meaningful, connected lives. From our hubs in Adelaide, Newcastle and the Gold Coast, we deliver mental health and disability supports. These include support coordination, psychosocial recovery coaching, Supported Independent Living (SIL), Individualised Living Options (ILO), respite, mentoring and Specialised Substitute Residential Care for children and young people.
Our approach is strengths-based, person-centred and trauma-informed. Our leadership team includes people with psychology and mental health qualifications, so we understand clinical work and value the people who do it. We live by our values (Be Genuine, Empower People, Trust, Excellence, Adaptability and Connection), and we even run a fortnightly Sunflower Walking Club where participants and staff walk together.
Be your own boss. You run your own business as an independent contractor. You set your hours, decide how much you take on and practise your way.
Work from wherever.
Work via telehealth from home, see clients in the community, or mix the two to suit your life.
Be part of something new and exciting. Sunflower Services is expanding into allied health, and you’ll be one of the first clinicians on our Adelaide team, with a real say in how it grows.
A 60/40 split of NDIS rates. You keep 60% of every invoice that gets paid. That’s up to $151/hr at the current NDIS price limit for psychology, including super if you’re a sole trader.
Get paid for more than face-to-face time. Report writing, case conferences and travel are billable under NDIS pricing rules.
Mental health is our specialty. Psychosocial disability and complex mental health are what we know best, and our whole organisation is built to support that work.
We build your caseload. We market your services and connect you with referrals under the Sunflower name.
The reach of a registered provider. Only registered providers can support NDIA-managed participants. With us, you can work with NDIA-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants.
No registration cost or audit burden. We pay for and manage NDIS registration, renewals and audits.
Leave the admin to us. We handle onboarding, funding checks, service agreements, invoicing, NDIS claiming and reconciliation. You’re paid fortnightly, and we generate your invoices for you.
Tools ready to go. You’ll have Astalty practice software, Microsoft 365 and ready-to-use templates for psychosocial assessments, NDIS support letters and more.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, LGBTIQA+ people, and people with lived experience of disability or mental health.
