• Established referral network through PHNs, GPs, DVA, Federal Government Partnerships, and medico-legal pathways.

• Work anywhere—from your home office or the team’s Sydney or Perth hubs.

• Shape your own schedule with total control over your availability.

• Join a clinical community, with access to an internal psychiatrist network, monthly peer review, M&M meetings, and second opinion support.

• No admin burden—dedicated ops team handles triage, bookings, reminders, tech support, and patient paperwork.

• Dedicated invoicing and billing support, making payment seamless and reliable.

• Marketing assistance to ensure steady referrals and caseload growth.

• Opportunity to tailor your clinical mix—from general adult psychiatry to ADHD and neurodiversity-related care.

• Ongoing professional development—with access to resources and CPD activities.

To be eligible, you’ll need:

• Fellowship of the RANZCP

• Current AHPRA registration

• A minimum commitment of 6 clinical hours per week
