Shellharbour Full-Time or Part-Time Employee or Contractor

Highly competitive remuneration - earning potential up to $250,000 FTE

RX Active Health is seeking an experienced Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist to join our growing multidisciplinary health team in Shellharbour.

We are building a genuinely integrated model of care where psychology, physiotherapy, strength training, exercise, Reformer Pilates and recovery services work alongside one another to help people improve their physical and psychological health for the long term.

As the first psychologist within RX Active Health, you will have the opportunity to shape how psychology is integrated into our wider model of care while maintaining genuine clinical autonomy.

WHO WE ARE

RX Active Health was built around a simple belief:

People deserve more from healthcare than a diagnosis, a few strategies and being told to come back when the problem returns.

We want people to understand their health, build confidence, become stronger and feel more capable of managing their wellbeing for the long term.

Our growing health centre brings together:

• A large 24/7 strength and conditioning gym
• Personal training and group training
• Performance and strength testing
• Rehabilitation and long-term health programs
• Additional allied health services as we grow

Alongside our existing facility, we are opening a beautiful new purpose-built allied health building next door.

Your psychology room will be calm, private, inviting, professional and soundproof - giving clients a dedicated therapeutic space while keeping you connected to the broader clinical team.

OUR CLINICAL FOCUS

Our physiotherapy team has developed particular expertise in:

• TMJ and jaw disorders
• Complex neck pain and headache
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility
• Persistent and complex pain
• Musculoskeletal injury and rehabilitation

These clients often have needs that extend beyond the purely physical.

Someone with persistent jaw or neck pain may also be navigating anxiety, stress, disrupted sleep, fear or trauma. A client with EDS or hypermobility may be dealing with chronic symptoms, uncertainty around their body or reduced confidence.

Having psychology embedded within the same team allows us to support these clients in a more connected way.

However, this is not a narrow pain psychology role.

You will see a wide variety of clients and presentations, allowing you to build a broad private-practice psychology caseload according to your experience and interests.

Your caseload may include:

• Anxiety, stress and depression
• Trauma and adjustment
• Burnout and life transitions
• Relationship and interpersonal concerns
• Persistent pain and chronic health conditions
• Injury and rehabilitation
• Fear of movement or reinjury
• Work and lifestyle stress

This gives you genuine clinical variety while creating opportunities to collaborate with physiotherapists and exercise professionals when a client's physical and psychological health intersect.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

You may already have a successful psychology career and a loyal client base, but be ready for a more connected environment.

Pearhaps you are tired of psychology feeling isolated from the rest of healthcare. Perhaps you want colleagues around you who understand that physical and psychological health influence one another. Or perhaps you want greater earning potential without carrying the full administrative burden of running your own practice.

You will be joining an established health business with:

• A strong existing client community and growing internal referral network
• Strong relationships with local GPs and health professionals
• Exercise and strength professionals
• Administration and billing support
• Established systems and proven marketing channels
• Personal and group training
• Reformer Pilates and recovery services
• Performance and rehabilitation services
• A leadership team genuinely invested in growing psychology

You will have support around you without losing your professional autonomy.

THE ROLE

As our first psychologist, you will deliver high-quality psychological care while helping us establish strong foundations for the service.

Your role may include:

• Conducting comprehensive psychological assessments
• Developing individualised, evidence-based treatment plans
• Delivering psychological interventions within your scope and areas of competence
• Using approaches such as CBT, ACT, behavioural strategies and psychoeducation where appropriate
• Supporting clients with anxiety, stress, trauma, persistent pain, chronic conditions and behaviour-change challenges
• Addressing psychological barriers to movement, rehabilitation and participation in everyday life
• Collaborating with physiotherapists and other health professionals where appropriate and with client consent
• Maintaining excellent clinical records and professional standards
• Participating in multidisciplinary discussions where beneficial
• Contributing ideas to the future development of psychology at RX Active Health
• Maintaining ongoing CPD and clinical supervision

We want someone experienced enough to bring their own clinical judgement, ideas and expertise to the role.

OUR VALUES

We value thoughtful, evidence-informed care and clinicians who remain curious and willing to learn.

Our goal is to help clients become more confident and capable - not dependent on treatment.

Education and empowerment.

Clients should understand their health, treatment and why we are recommending it.

Collaboration over silos.

Strong healthcare comes from professionals communicating, respecting scope and working together when it benefits the client.

Strength and participation matter.

Where appropriate, we want people moving, exercising, working, parenting, socialising and participating fully in life.

High standards with genuine humanity.

We care deeply about people while maintaining professionalism, boundaries and accountability.

Growth.

We want clinicians who seek feedback, invest in CPD and take pride in continually improving.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for someone who is clinically strong, emotionally mature, professional, collaborative and genuinely invested in excellent client outcomes.

The ideal applicant will have:

• At least 5 years' private-practice experience in Australia
• Current unrestricted AHPRA registration as a Psychologist or Clinical Psychologist
• Strong assessment and treatment-planning skills
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Confidence working autonomously
• A commitment to evidence-based practice and ongoing CPD
• A strong work ethic and personal accountability
• Genuine interest in multidisciplinary care
• Interest in contributing to a growing psychology service

Experience with pain, trauma, rehabilitation, health psychology, chronic conditions, EDS/hypermobility, TMJ or complex physical health presentations is highly regarded, but not essential.

WHAT WE OFFER

• A dedicated psychology room in our new purpose-built allied health facility
• A calm, private and soundproof clinical environment
• A strong and growing internal referral base
• Collaboration with six physiotherapists and exercise professionals
• Connection with our gym, strength training, Pilates and recovery environment
• Administrative and billing support
• Established systems and marketing support
• Protected lunch breaks for employees
• Quarterly and annual team-building events
• Opportunity to shape the future of psychology within RX Active Health
• Significant earning potential for a high-performing clinician

REMUNERATION

Highly competitive remuneration - earning potential up to $250,000 FTE.

For employees, remuneration includes a base salary plus commission, providing income stability while rewarding productivity and contribution to the growth of the psychology service.

For psychologists who prefer a contractor arrangement, a straight commission structure is also available.

Remuneration will reflect experience, seniority, registration type, clinical capability, caseload capacity and the level of responsibility undertaken.

BUILD SOMETHING MEANINGFUL WITH US

RX Active Health is entering an exciting stage of growth.

We are expanding our facilities, growing our clinical team and building a model of healthcare that connects psychological care, physical rehabilitation, movement, strength and long-term health.

As our first psychologist, you will have the opportunity to influence how psychology fits within that model from the beginning.

We are not looking for someone to simply fill a consulting room.

• We are looking for an experienced psychologist who wants to deliver excellent clinical care, work alongside other passionate health professionals and help us build an exceptional psychology service within a genuinely integrated health team.
