Exciting opportunity to expand your skillset, grow as a clinician, and develop expertise in a specialised and rapidly evolving field.

Are you a psychologist who wants the independence of private practice with the support and connection of a team that values growth, learning, wellbeing, and meaningful patient care?

At The Gut Centre, we welcome psychologists who value the independence of private practice while enjoying the connection and shared expertise of a collaborative team across Melbourne, the Sunshine Coast, and Brisbane. We currently have space for 1–2 practitioners to join our Melbourne clinic in beautiful Kew East. Employment opportunities may also be considered.

We specialise in the mind–gut connection and its impact on both mental and physical health. Founded by Dr Jim Kantidakis, a Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of experience, TGC was created to be a place where clinicians can thrive, clinically, professionally, and personally.

We believe the best therapy happens when clinicians feel supported, connected, and valued.
