Join Our Team

You don’t need to wait for a vacancy to get in touch.

We’re always interested in hearing from psychologists who might like to become part of our team — whether that’s now, sometime in the future, or simply something you’d like to have a confidential conversation about.

You might already be working in another practice and quietly considering what’s next. You might be planning a move to the Sunshine Coast, recently registered, returning to psychology after time away, or looking for a role that better fits around family and life. Whatever brings you here, we’d be happy to have a conversation.

A different kind of private practice

Private-practice autonomy, with a capable team around you.

At SCPC, our clinicians should be able to focus on being psychologists — not on finding referrals, answering phones, chasing paperwork, processing payments or running the machinery of a private practice.

Sunshine Coast Psychology Clinic is an established, locally owned practice with clinics in Maroochydore and Sippy Downs. We have deliberately built a strong practice and administration team to support the work our clinicians do.

Designed to protect your clinical time

Our administration and clinical teams work to appropriately match clients with psychologists based on presentation, experience, clinical interests, preferred client groups and fit — rather than simply filling the next empty appointment.

New client enquiries and intake
Referral processing and triage
Clinician matching and client communications
Diary and appointment management
Billing, payments and Medicare administration
Appointment reminders and cancellation management
Practice systems and day-to-day administration
Established referral relationships

There isn’t one type of psychologist we’re looking for

Careers and lives don’t always fit neatly into a job advertisement.

At different times, we’re interested in psychologists looking for full-time, part-time, flexible or contractor arrangements across our Maroochydore and Sippy Downs clinics.

Experienced psychologists considering a changeYou don’t need to be unhappy where you are to be curious about a different way of working.

Psychologists moving to the Sunshine CoastWe’d be pleased to speak before you arrive and explore opportunities that could fit your plans.

Recently registered psychologistsA chance to explore establishing your career within an experienced private-practice team.

Returning to psychologyWe welcome a conversation about what a gradual or flexible return could look like.

Psychologists seeking flexibilityWhere capacity allows, we explore working days that make sense for both the psychologist and the clinic.

Employment or contractor opportunitiesTalk to us about therapy-focused work, assessment work, or a combination of both.

Build a caseload that fits your strengths

A varied referral base, thoughtfully matched to your experience and interests.

Our psychologists work across a broad range of presentations, ages and client groups. We don’t believe every psychologist should be expected to see every client.

Established referral pathways

Referrals include Medicare and Mental Health Treatment Plans, private clients, WorkCover Queensland, DVA, NDIS, EAP and organisational programs.

Caseloads that make sense

Tell us about the areas of psychology you enjoy, preferred client groups and presentations outside your scope.

Therapy and assessment options

SCPC provides ADHD, autism and cognitive assessments alongside broad therapy opportunities.

We want to build sustainable caseloads that make sense for both the psychologist and the clients we refer to them.

Why psychologists choose SCPC

The autonomy of private practice, with a team around you.

Referrals and administrative support

An established and consistent referral flow, experienced reception support, and full diary, billing and client administration.

Flexibility and clinical autonomy

Professional consulting rooms, flexibility around working days, and autonomy over your clinical work.

Varied, strengths-led work

A broad referral base and the opportunity to shape your caseload around your interests, strengths, therapy and assessment experience.

Local and personally connected

Established systems and peer support within a locally owned practice where decision-makers know the people working in it.

We want our clinicians to have the professional autonomy that makes private practice attractive without having to build and operate a private practice themselves.

About SCPC

Established enough to provide the infrastructure. Local enough to know our people.

SCPC has been providing psychological services to the Sunshine Coast community since 2007. Today, we’re a locally owned and family-run practice operating from Maroochydore and Sippy Downs, with a team of psychologists, allied health clinicians and experienced administration professionals.

We’re large enough to provide the referral pathways, systems, administration and professional support that help private practice work well, while remaining local, accessible and personally connected to our team. Our Practice Director, Principal Clinical Psychologist, management team and administration staff work together to create an environment where clinicians can build sustainable careers and concentrate on excellent clinical care.

Not looking for a job right now?

That’s okay.

This page isn’t only for people actively searching for their next role. If you’re curious about SCPC, we’d still like to hear from you. There may not be exactly the right opportunity today; there might be one in three or six months. Sometimes, an opportunity can be created around the right psychologist.

You’re welcome to send a CV and tell us what you might be interested in, with absolutely no obligation to take things any further. Your enquiry will be treated confidentially.

Already have your own private practice?

A quieter conversation about the developing SCPC Associate Network.

This is separate from employment with SCPC. We’re beginning to explore an Associate Network for established independent psychologists across the Sunshine Coast who want to retain their own practice and consulting location.

The concept may provide access to selected administration, referral, billing and practice-management infrastructure available through SCPC. We’re speaking with psychologists while developing the model rather than assuming we know exactly what independent practitioners want.

Exploring the model

Remain independent in your existing location
Confidential early conversations
No commitment or formal application required
Help shape a model that could work for you

If you’re already in sole practice and the idea sounds interesting, we’d welcome a confidential conversation. There is no need to change anything about your existing practice simply to talk with us.
