Supporting Individuals, Empowering Communities, Changing Lives

We are Patches. Our aim is to support individuals and families to reach their goals at every step of the journey. Through our holistic model, we provide comprehensive assessment, consulting, and therapy services to individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders. We are a multidisciplinary team with various opportunities and a great administration support team. Our clinics are located in iconic destinations and support face-to-face, family, and telehealth appointments.

• The opportunity to make a positive difference in people's lives
• The opportunity to work within a supportive multidisciplinary team
• Generous, flexible, and various contractual terms to match your needs
• Innovation and input from our clinicians in unique service delivery models

We are seeking a Registered Psychologist with experience and interest in disability to join our Darwin team on a Permanent Part-time basis (option to engage on a casual basis is also available). The role supports our Darwin multidisciplinary team by delivering targeted and short-term psychological interventions to children, adolescents, families, and carers (including those from culturally and linguistically diverse populations).

As an organisation, we deliver a multidisciplinary therapy service to paediatric and adult participants and their families and carers. We are an established team with a strong focus on providing the best therapy to our participants within the evolving space of the NDIS. We primarily see participants with NDIS funding and emphasise evidence-based practice and a parent-child relational model.

For therapists wanting to learn, we have a range of experienced occupational therapy and speech pathology clinicians on our team to work alongside in a multidisciplinary setting. This is valued in the disability sector, as participants often have difficulties across multiple functional areas and multidisciplinary work is required.

Given our national footprint, we support learning opportunities via monthly online professional development with other Psychologists at Patches who work interstate. Our future goal is to grow our Darwin-based Psychology capabilities, presenting a fantastic opportunity for someone to support this strategy.
