9 out of 10 Psychologists self-actualise at our telehealth practice!
What's This All About?

We're Very Helpful Chats – Australia's leading neurodivergent-friendly telehealth service! While we may need to do some further fact-checking on the 9 out of 10 psychologists self-actualise at our telehealth practice claim, a fact that we have confidently checked and double-checked is that 9 out of 10 team members aboard the Very Helpful Chats are neurodivergent.

Our team is made up of professionals who are ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, Dyscalculic and have lived experience of a wide spectrum of physical and mental health conditions, illnesses, and disabilities. We need your professional experience plus your lived experience to be able to deliver high-quality clinical services to the neurodivergent community.

The Job Basics:
  • Help neurodivergent clients who actually WANT to work with you - whether it’s mental health treatment, NDIS supports, ADHD coaching or couples counselling, our clients are motivated to engage with neurodiversity-affirming professionals
  • Work from home FOREVER – 100% telehealth, 100% comfort
  • No evenings or weekends - unless that’s your thing
  • Choose your own adventure - be an employee or a contractor
  • REAL work flexibility – you tell us what schedule works for your brain and body, and we'll make it happen
  • Full-time? Part-time? Late starts? Whatever suits your rhythm.
  • For employees - enjoy all the perks of a salaried role - paid annual leave, sick leave, and public holidays, get paid for all your work hours, not just the billable ones. Starting salaries of $89K for provisional psychologists and $100K for newly registered psychologists. Super on top. Minimum commitment: 3 days per week
  • For contractors - Enjoy the freedom of being your own boss with our support. Therapy rates start at $150 per 50-minute session (including notes) for our early-career psychologists. Minimum commitment: 3 days per week (note: provisional psychologists not eligible for contractor roles).
  • Disability accommodations? Absolutely!
  • Corporate nonsense or neuro-normative expectations? Absolutely not
What We Offer Everyone:
  • Supportive neurokin – A 90% neurodivergent team that’s not just supportive but genuinely fun. Scroll right to the end to see what our team said about working for Very Helpful Chats!
  • Team connection through Slack – as much or as little connection as you need - we chat, share resources, and support each other daily. Fun fact: 55% of our team are INFJs! Introverts & extroverts are welcome here.
  • Slack channels for everything – neurodiversity resources, memes, trivia, true crime, DND. Plus, work channels for therapy discussions, assessments, EMDR, and NDIS tears.
  • Admin superstars who handle all the behind-the-scenes work (referrals, marketing, scheduling, tech tutorials)
  • Individual supervision based on your experience level – weekly, fortnightly or monthly with senior psychologists (even contractors get 1 free hour monthly!)
  • Group supervision - monthly group supervision for psych assessments, EMDR, and a dedicated early-career / provisional psych group soup
  • CPD calendar - in addition to all of the above, we host monthly presentations from respected neurodiversity-affirming colleagues
  • Report peer review - the quickest way to improve your skills through supportive feedback

What You'll Need:
  • AHPRA registration as a psychologist or provisional psychologist.
  • Experience working with neurodivergent people across the lifespan and beyond
  • Your own quiet workspace, reliable internet, and a decent webcam
  • Understanding of the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm

We'd LOVE to Hear From You If:
  • You're neurodivergent yourself (ADHD, Autistic, both, or otherwise)
  • You live with a disability or chronic illness (#spoonies)
  • You have personal experience with mental health challenges
  • You're tired of workplaces that don't understand your needs
  • You’d rather get straight to the point than hit people up with small talk

Want to know even more about working at Very Helpful Chats?!
This is what our team said when we asked them what they liked about working at VHC:
  • “It really feels like a community. Everyone is welcoming and makes time to have a chat. It’s a great place to be, especially as a neurodivergent who hasn’t had many environments like that!”
  • “I love working collaboratively with people from a range of backgrounds and skills. It's a friendly and safe space”.
  • “We're hilarious! I don't feel judged if my brain is scattered or I'm overwhelmed. The understanding and empathy for how you're feeling and how you work is really refreshing. I didn't realise the amount of pressure I felt to be "neurotypical" in other jobs until I started this one.”
  • “Everyone is passionate about supporting ND humans. We have a diverse range of clinicians with different backgrounds, and this makes for a healthy workplace to discuss the work that we do.”
  • “There have been so many opportunities for growth since I’ve worked here. I’ve had ample opportunities for supervision and training and a wealth of resources to learn from. I feel very lucky.”
  • “I look forward to my days at VHC. It’s been unlike any other workplace! I feel lucky to be here but also appreciated, and like they feel lucky too. It’s a symbiotic relationship.”
  • “The CPD subjects are interesting; we have a variety of different formats, which is brilliant.”
  • “It's not your regular workplace, which makes it an awesome workplac.e”
This is what our team said when we asked them what they would say to psychs thinking about applying for a job at VHC:
  • “Apply if: you are struggling at your current workplace because they aren't supporting you as a neurodivergent person; if you want to work with people who you can feel safe to unmask with; and if you want to empower and support other people to feel comfortable and safe in their neurodiversity”
  • “Do it! If you feel like the VHC values resonate with yours, then it might just be the perfect fit”
  • “Just do it! Especially if you're neurodivergent. I get so much more work done at VHC compared to other workplaces because I get to work from home, in an environment optimised to how my brain works, around people who don't judge me for the way I work. I didn't realise how exhausting I used to find work, until I got to try this format, and now I don't think I can go back to the "normal" way.”
  • “That you should do it! Just apply now you won't regret it”
  • “Only cool ppl allowed”
