Clinical / Registered / Child & Adolescent Psychologist - …, Werribee

Schema Therapy Institute Australia is a prestigious and progressive private practice with locations across Victoria. We are leaders in Schema Therapy and integrative psychological care, offering a robust culture of collaboration, clinical excellence, and genuine professional support. We are seeking experienced psychologists with at least 2 to 4 years of post registration experience who are ready for a senior clinical role.
