Clinical Neuropsychologist

An exciting opportunity exists for a psychologist to join our team in Psychology Services at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH). Tasmania offers a unique culture and lifestyle, with a strong sense of community and belonging. Say goodbye to lengthy commutes and enjoy breath-taking coastlines, National Parks, and fresh local produce, all within close proximity to your workplace.

Our relatively small hospital enables you to develop a strong understanding of your patients and see the difference you make, while still providing opportunities for career progression, diverse work, and specialization development. The slower-paced lifestyle promotes mindful practice and meaningful work.

As the largest hospital and major triage centre in the state, RHH sees a wide range of clinical populations, offering diversity and rapid broadening of clinical knowledge. This role is particularly beneficial for early career clinicians. Our geographical isolation has fostered a culture of innovation, resourcefulness, and collaboration, giving you the chance to shape the future of healthcare in Tasmania.

This position is suitable for experienced neuropsychologists, registrars, or recent graduates eager to develop their skills. Support, mentoring, and supervision are available to facilitate your transition into the role.
