Why Join CBT Professionals?

The Best of Both Worlds – Family-Owned, Professionally Supported

We’re proud to be a family‑owned psychology practice where relationships matter, people are valued and our Directors remain personally involved in the business.

At the same time, you’ll enjoy the benefits of an established organisation, with a dedicated Head Office Management Team covering Business Management, Accounts, Operations, Human Resources and Marketing.

This means you can focus on clinical excellence, supervision and leadership, without the administrative and financial pressures of running your own practice.

• Competitive Remuneration & Flexibility
• $68–$75 per hour plus superannuation, depending on experience and supervisory expertise.
• Flexible part‑time or full‑time arrangements, between three and five days per week.
• Opportunity to work across our Helensvale and Nerang clinics.
• Supervision and Leadership Are Valued

You’ll have dedicated, paid time within your working week to fulfil supervision, mentoring and leadership responsibilities, rather than fitting them around a full clinical caseload.

A Genuine Opportunity to Influence

Work collaboratively with our Directors and fellow Clinical Lead to shape clinical standards, develop professional learning opportunities and contribute to the future direction of our clinical services.
