Shrink & Co. is a specialised mental health disability provider, specialising in psychology, psychiatry, behaviour support and mental health occupational therapy assessments. Based in Gold Coast QLD and Tweed Heads NSW we have 2 active locations with a growing client base across both Southeast Queensland and Northern NSW.

Our Vision

We imagine a world where anyone can obtain mental health solutions by the right person, for the right problem, and at the right time.

Shrink & Co. are a high performance, dynamic team with strong beliefs in high standards, leadership, teamwork, continuous improvement and getting the job done. We believe in creating value for our clients and their families, and we start by providing an exceptional client experience journey.

The Occupational Therapist is an integral part of our Behaviour Insights Team (BIT) which is an interdisciplinary team tasked with managing clients with neurodiversity and intellectual disability.

Our Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) consists of experts with the skills matrix across both Education and Health Sciences spaces. The BIT exists within Shrink & Co.'s ecosystem of supports to ensure clients in need of behavioural based supports gain access to an entire team with the understanding that it takes multiple people with multiple skills to solve complex behavioural issues. The Occupational Therapist operates within the BIT under the BIT Discipline Lead and will deliver services collaboratively with the Lead Practitioner, or as a Lead Practitioner alongside the rest of the BIT.
