Why This Role is Different

If you're looking for:

* Back-to-back therapy sessions
* Sitting in a clinic all day
* No performance accountability

This isn't the role for you.

But if you want:

* Variety, autonomy, and real-world impact
* To apply psychology in workplaces, not just therapy rooms
* To see measurable outcomes from your work

Keep reading.

The Role: Psychology That Changes Outcomes

At ORS, psychologists don't just "treat" - they drive recovery, behaviour change, and return to work outcomes.

You will:

* Work with individuals with psychological injuries to support safe return to work
* Conduct work-focused psychological and vocational assessments
* Identify barriers using evidence-based tools
* Develop solutions and strategies that are meaningful and impactful
* Apply psychology in real-world settings - workplaces, employers, systems
* Use approaches like:
* Motivational interviewing
* Behavioural activation
* Graded exposure
* Work focused cognitive behavioural therapy
* Provide psychosocial advice to employers and stakeholders
* Support career transitions and new employment pathways

What Makes This Role Different

Variety

* No two days look the same
* Work across clients, workplaces, and industries

Autonomy

* Control your diary
* Work from home, office and/or in the community

Impact and Relationships

* Help people return to work, rebuild confidence, and re‐engage with life
* Build strong, meaningful, and ongoing relationships with employers, agents and treaters

* We work within structured frameworks that are proven
* We are the pioneers of ROSES and a new technological administration and scoring tool

Multidisciplinary Environment

* Work with an amazing team of OTs, EPs, physios, rehabilitation counsellors, employment specialists
* Access opportunities in our other business divisions if desired including clinical psychology and positive behaviour support

What You Won't Be Doing

* Sitting in a room doing 6 - 8 therapy sessions daily
* Long-term, open-ended treatment work
* Working in isolation

What You Will Be Responsible For

* Managing a structured caseload
* Delivering measurable outcomes
* Communicating proactively with stakeholders
* Driving recovery forward - not just maintaining it

What We Offer

* Flexible working (WFH/hybrid work, 9-day fortnight, part-time options, flexible start and finish times)
* Full supervision (provisional + general pathways)
* Structured onboarding and competency program
* National psychology team (200+ psychologists)

Who Thrives Here

* Want to apply psychology beyond therapy
* Are comfortable engaging with employers and systems

Requirements

* AHPRA Registration (Provisional or General)
