Whether you're an MPP graduate seeking a 5+1 internship or have years of experience, there is something for everyone in the Pilbara education region.
Explore the Pilbara region, stretching from the picturesque Indian Ocean coastline to the rugged expanses of the Great Sandy Desert.
The region is home to 29 public schools that cater to the educational needs of 9,664 students. From inner city locations to remote community schools, each offers a unique learning environment amidst the awe-inspiring backdrop of the Pilbara.
A scenic drive north from Perth transports you into the heart of ancient terrain amidst the world's oldest rocks and the enduring legacy of Aboriginal culture. Here, nature unfolds in all its splendour, revealing coastal archipelagos, majestic peaks, winding gorges, and the untamed beauty of the Australian outback.
Home to over 63,000 residents, the Pilbara has a vibrant population scattered across an area twice the size of the United Kingdom. While bustling coastal hubs like Karratha and Port Hedland teem with life, the region's diversity shines through with a melting pot of locals and individuals hailing from every corner of the globe, with a third of residents born beyond Australian shores.
We have 23 school psychologists in the Pilbara, based in Karratha, Port Hedland, Newman and Tom Price and we are seeking to add to our Hedland based team.
If you like wide open spaces, camping under the stars, snorkeling and fishing, hiking and waterfalls, the Pilbara is the place for you.
Professionally managed by lead school psychologists Tanya Graham and Stephen Galbraith, our Pilbara team is dynamic, professional, very social and provide an incredible school psychology service to students and school communities in a wide range of school types.
What do we offer?
* Full relocation from anywhere in Australia with subsidised housing (GROH)
* A generous salary with 8 weeks leave per year (aligned with the student vacation period)
* This position in Hedland attracts additional financial benefits of more than $14,000 (approved to 31 December 2026 at this stage)
