Looking for a meaningful change?
Join Sonic HealthPlus, Australia's leading provider of occupational healthcare, and use your psychological expertise to make a real impact—without therapy case loads or shift work. Help shape the future of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) through structured assessments in a flexible and supportive environment.
Why This Role Stands Out

* Flexible Work Options – Choose full-time, part-time, 4-day weeks, or 9-day fortnights.
* Hybrid Working – Blend home-based and in-clinic work to suit your lifestyle.
* Attractive Pay Structures – Contractor (ABN) or employee model available.
* Strong Onboarding & Ongoing Support – Paid virtual training and professional development.
* Impact with Purpose – Contribute to critical recruitment decisions for the ADF.
About The Role
We are currently seeking Registered Psychologists to join our team in Darwin, NT. In this role, you will be responsible for conducting pre-employment psychological assessments for candidates applying to join the ADF. You will be part of a national team of experienced psychologists, backed by a dedicated bookings team and robust clinical governance.
What You Will Need
* Unrestricted AHPRA Registration
* Minimum 2 years' clinical experience
* Confidence in independent psychological assessments (adult clients)
* Australian citizenship (essential for ADF contracts)
* Ability to obtain a National Police Check and Working With Children Check (WWCC)
