Clinical Psychologist (Sydney/Perth)

Join Intellect and help shape the future of workplace mental health in Australia

Intellect is a modern mental health company on a mission to make high quality mental healthcare more accessible, effective, and measurable.

We partner with organisations to deliver evidence based mental health support, and we are helping redefine workplace mental health in Australia through strong clinical governance, psychosocial risk capability, and outcomes focused care.

We are now hiring an AHPRA registered Clinical Psychologist for a full time, hybrid role, based in Sydney or Perth.

This is a unique opportunity for a psychologist who wants more than a traditional therapy role. You will combine direct clinical care with workplace assessments, psychosocial risk work, stakeholder partnership, crisis response support, and research collaboration.

Approximately 50% of the role is focused on therapy and psychological assessments, with the remaining scope focused on broader clinical and organisational work. The compensation package for this role consists of base salary, superannuation, and employee stock options.

Why join Intellect

• Full time, hybrid role, based in Sydney or Perth
• Varied scope across therapy, assessments, workplace mental health, and crisis support
• Clinical supervision provided
• CPD allowance
• Admin support provided
• No need to build your own referral pipeline
• Travel support provided for crisis response deployments
• Opportunity to contribute to research partnerships with Australian universities
• Be part of the broader Clinical team, in a role with both direct client impact and systems level influence
• Join a clinically led team focused on quality, governance, and measurable outcomes

About the role
This role is ideal for a clinician who:

• enjoys variety in their work
• wants to apply their skills beyond a therapy room only
• is confident engaging both clients and non clinical stakeholders
• is motivated by evidence based practice and systems level impact

Team and support

You will be part of Intellect’s broader Clinical team, working in a collaborative environment with clinical, operational, and cross functional partners.

This role is designed to support high quality clinical work, with supervision, CPD support, and admin support in place, so psychologists can focus on care quality and impact.

You will play an important role in delivering high quality care, supporting workplace mental health initiatives, and helping build Intellect’s clinical and research presence in Australia.
