About the Program

The Psychological Therapies Program is aimed at increasing access to psychological treatments for vulnerable individuals in the Darling Downs region. This may include those at risk of suicide or self-harm, those at-risk or experiencing homelessness and housing crisis, LGBTIQA+ communities, and other marginalised groups within our region.

This program will operate across multiple locations, with your role based in Goondiwindi, servicing the Goondiwindi Regional local government area. It is delivered by Lives Lived Well, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to supporting individuals facing mental health challenges and alcohol or other drug (AOD) concerns.

About the Role

We’re looking for a passionate and qualified Allied Health Practitioner.

In this role, you’ll deliver brief, evidence-based psychological interventions—up to 10 sessions per client—focused on recovery, resilience, and wellbeing. You’ll work closely with individuals to help them navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties.

This is a part-time position, offering 19 hours per week. We’re happy to accommodate your preferred working schedule. The gross hourly pay rate ranges between $51.00 and $60.27 per hour plus superannuation and salary packaging benefits. The salary on offer will be commensurate with the successful candidate’s knowledge, skills and experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Deliver individual therapy sessions tailored to each client’s needs to address various mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, grief, relationship and interpersonal challenges, and mood disorders.
• Conduct assessments and develop evidence-based treatment plans
• Monitor progress and adjust interventions as needed
• Collaborate with other professionals and refer clients to additional services when appropriate
• Ensure clinical risk is managed with care and professionalism and within relevant guidelines.
• While the role is based in Goondiwindi, occasional travel within the local region may be required (during work hours).

Why This Role Matters

You’ll be a vital part of a program that breaks down barriers to mental health care in rural Queensland. Your work will directly support people who might otherwise fall through the cracks—helping them feel seen, heard, and supported.

You’ll also benefit from a strong clinical governance framework, regular supervision, and a supportive team environment.

What You’ll Bring

• A relevant tertiary qualification and professional registration (e.g. AHPRA or AASW)
• Experience or interest in working with vulnerable and marginalised populations
• Experience in clinical risk assessment and management.
• Knowledge of relevant legislative frameworks that guide decision making within human service delivery.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a collaborative mindset
• Openness and a non-judgemental approach
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule.
• A commitment to ethical, client-centred care
• A current Australian driver’s licence

We also welcome applications from provisional psychologists and early-career practitioners working toward mental health accreditation.

What We Offer

• Additional days of paid Wellbeing Leave per year
• Salary packaging to increase your take-home pay
• Relocation assistance for the right candidate
• Regular clinical supervision, case conferencing, and debriefing
• Access to Fitness Passport and our Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• A supportive, values-driven culture
