$174,740 per annum + Superannuation | Full-Time | Windsor, NSW | 2027

Senior Clinical Leadership | Paediatric Development | Child & Adolescent Mental Health

Your expertise has brought you this far. Now imagine what you could help build.

At The Daisy Clinic, we're building something meaningful in paediatric healthcare. A place where exceptional clinical practice, developmental expertise, multidisciplinary collaboration and genuine care for children and families come together.

We're seeking an accomplished Clinical Psychologist or Educational and Developmental Psychologist to lead our Psychology Department into its next chapter.

This is an opportunity for a psychologist with substantial paediatric expertise, exceptional clinical judgement and a genuine passion for developing others to influence not only the quality of psychological care delivered today, but the direction of our services for years to come.

We're not simply looking for someone to manage a department. We're looking for someone who can inspire clinical excellence, develop the next generation of psychologists and help shape the future of child and adolescent psychological care.

A leadership opportunity with genuine influence

As Head of Psychology, you'll provide senior clinical leadership across a growing Psychology Department within an established multidisciplinary paediatric health service.

You'll work closely with our CEO, Director of Clinical Services, Executive Leadership Team and Heads of Departments. You'll have meaningful influence over clinical standards, professional development, assessment and intervention pathways,



service innovation and the ongoing development of our psychological services.

Importantly, this is a clinical leadership position, not an administrative management role.

Our established operational and administrative teams support the day-to-day running of the clinic, allowing you to focus on what matters most: clinical quality, developing clinicians and advancing psychological practice.

You'll also maintain a small, carefully considered clinical caseload, ensuring you remain connected to clinical practice while having dedicated time for leadership responsibilities.

What you'll lead and influence

Your responsibilities will include:

- Clinical leadership and excellence: Provide expert clinical guidance, consultation and direction across the Psychology Department, particularly in complex developmental, diagnostic and mental health presentations.
- Assessment and diagnostic practice: Lead the development and refinement of comprehensive, evidence-based assessment, differential diagnosis and formulation pathways.
- Clinician development: Mentor, support and develop psychologists across career stages, fostering clinical confidence, critical thinking, professional judgement and reflective practice.
- Clinical governance: Promote high standards of ethical practice, documentation, clinical decision-making,



risk management and professional accountability.
- Supervision and consultation: Contribute to professional supervision, complex case consultation, multidisciplinary case reviews and collaborative clinical decision-making.
- Evidence-based practice: Foster a culture where clinicians actively engage with contemporary research, critically evaluate emerging evidence and translate knowledge into meaningful clinical practice.
- Service development: Help shape new assessment pathways, intervention programs and innovative models of paediatric psychological care.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration: Work alongside senior clinicians across disciplines to strengthen integrated, developmentally informed and family-centred care.
- Professional education: Contribute to internal training, clinical education, career development and opportunities for research and quality improvement.
- Strategic leadership: Collaborate with the executive team to guide the continued growth, capability and clinical direction of the Psychology Department.

We're looking for depth of expertise, not simply years of experience

This is a senior clinical appointment requiring a psychologist with substantial experience and a sophisticated understanding of child development, psychological assessment and child and adolescent mental health.

Essential qualifications and experience

- General registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).
- Area of practice endorsement in Clinical Psychology and/or Educational and Developmental Psychology.
- A minimum of five years of substantial clinical experience working with children, adolescents and
