Assessment and disability Psychology across Australia

About the role
Community and disability psychology roles, placed with Australian employers who sponsor qualified psychologists. The primary focus is psychological assessment — cognitive, neuropsychological, and functional capacity — alongside evidence-based intervention for clients with disability, acquired brain injury, and co-occurring mental health presentations. Most positions sit within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), Australia's government-funded support system for people with permanent and significant disability. Psychologists with a robust assessment background and experience across complex, high-needs caseloads are well-matched to these roles. Prior Australian experience is not required.
