About the Organisation
The Wheatbelt GP Network is a NFP regional leader in primary health care delivery across the Wheatbelt region of WA.

About the Opportunity
Wheatbelt GP Network has a rewarding opportunity for a Registered Psychologist to join their dynamic team on a full-time basis. With the requirement for travelling to remote regions, you will provide focused psychological strategies to clients referred to the organisation under ATAPS and MHSRRA programs.
More specifically, you will be:
- Assessing clients’ presenting clinical issues and support needs and identifying appropriate matching models of service delivery;
- Providing case management and planning for individuals/families with complex problems or who require assistance in accessing appropriate services;
- Delivering risk assessments in relation to support needs and behaviour;
- Maintaining accurate and timely administrative record keeping in regards to case notes and patient records; and
- Assisting in continually improving the clinical governance framework of the organisation.
The ideal candidate will have relevant tertiary qualifications in Psychology and unconditional registration with AHPRA, alongside demonstrated experience in delivering psychology services.
To ensure your success, you will have the ability to work autonomously and as part of a team, excellent written and verbal communication, proficient use of a range of evidence-based interventions, and demonstrated skills and experience in clinical assessments and treatment of presentations.
