Clinical Assistant (Provisional/Registered Psychology/Counsellor) Telehealth role 

Zed3 Medical Group is a multi-disciplinary mental health business operating in Canberra and via telehealth around Australia. We provide services in Psychiatry, Psychology and Paediatrics. Our clinical work is predominantly trauma-focused, servicing a variety of clients across the Australian Defence Force, Australian Federal Police, Veteran and Civilian communities.  

We are currently seeking expressions of interest for PhD/Masters students studying Psychology/Counselling as well as fully Registered Psychologists and Counsellors to work for us remotely from around Australia as a Clinical Assistant 1-3 days per week. The primary role of the Clinical Assistant is to assist in the preparation of mental health claims on behalf of Veterans to the Department of Veteran’s Affairs. This involves conducting one-on-one telehealth interviews with Veterans to better understand the nature and source of their psychological injuries, along with administration and interpretation of various psychometrics. You may also prepare reports for other funding groups as needed.  

Following initial training in Canberra you will be supported remotely and required to operate as part of the Clinical Assistant team with autonomy and organisation. It is also likely that in this role you will be exposed to recounts of significant trauma. Consequently, it is important that you are emotionally resilient and able to provide effective support to clients, noting there is a team of clinicians happy to be called to chat and debrief. You will also be invited to participate remotely in fortnightly group supervision with our psychology team which provides fantastic learning and networking opportunities.  

As a clinic, we are focussed our team’s wellbeing and growth and hope this job will allow support and development as individuals complete their clinical training. We will be providing those in the role with a laptop and will be providing renumeration of $38.50/hour (plus super). Whilst the job requires you to work remotely from a confidential space at home, it is likely that as the team grows, we can create local hubs for Clinical Assistants to work together around the country.  

This role will begin in February of 2024 with training in Canberra from February 5th-7th which must be attended (costs covered). 

*please note, this is a casual role as a clinical assistant, not as a provisional psychologist. It is the applicant’s responsibility to check if the role adheres to internship requirements.
