Here's what will help you thrive in this role:
- Full registration as a Psychologist with the Psychology Board of Australia.
- Experience delivering evidence-based psychological services to clients with complex needs.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills within multidisciplinary environments.
- Ability to lead service improvements and support the growth of others through mentoring and supervision.
