Lee&Fiona Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hi, We are Lee and Fiona, new to this blog and currently in Maidstone UK but we have been granted Family Sponsored Visas for Regional NSW, so basically we have the whole state we can live/work in, but not Sydney itself. Fiona is a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience and would like some sort of lead on finding a job before we move out. We are looking Woolongong/Illawarra region ideally, but would also be happy Newcastle/Central Coast etc. We are happy to go where work is most available. Does anyone in any of these regions have any advice/details of recruiters/companies she could get in touch with? Thanks in advance for your help.

Quoll Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Psychologists are ten a penny in Australia so she probably won't have any problems finding a job once she's leaped the AHPRA hurdles. If she gets full registration she will be good to go but it might find it a bit more difficult if she only gets provisional registration because of the extra pressure on the organisation for additional supervision etc. She's not likely to get a job before you move so find the place you want to live then apply for the jobs - either of the places you mention are likely to have opportunities. If she joins the APS they have a sits vac section so you can see what the demands are in both places. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toots Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 You can have a look at this to give you a bit of an idea. Wollongong/Illawara area and the Newcastle/Hunter Valley area. https://www.seek.com.au/clinical-psychologist-jobs/in-Wollongong,-Illawarra-&-South-Coast-NSW https://www.seek.com.au/clinical-psychologist-jobs/in-Newcastle,-Maitland-&-Hunter-NSW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Plains Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 If you are looking for positions within NSW health, or for any NSW government job, you can also visit the "I Work for NSW" Website: Here is a list that may interest you: https://iworkfor.nsw.gov.au/jobs/all-keywords/all-agencies/all-organisations--entities/clinical-psychologist-jobs/all-locations/all-worktypes?jobcategoryid=16648 Its a start at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatCat Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 A friend of mine use to work for a company called Benestar, in their Employment Assistance Programme. Which from my limited understanding, provides workplace counseling and conflict resolution for staff of large organizations. For some bizarre reason, he use to have a LOT of clients from Australia Post. Made me think twice about ever working for AP, I must admit. He is British and he said they hired a lot of British Psychologists. They have offices all over Australia, including rural areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
