Early career and registrar applicants welcome | Fixed-term with potential to extend | Part time to full time | Immediate start
Start your neuropsychology career in a supportive, assessment-focused practice in Shellharbour.
Are you finishing your clinical neuropsychology training and looking for your first role? The Shellharbour Clinic is seeking a clinical neuropsychologist, or a neuropsychology graduate ready to begin the registrar program, to join our team on a fixed-term contract covering a period of leave. The initial term is initially 6 months, with potential to extend in a part-time capacity.
You'll take on an established assessment caseload and you'll build your skills across a broad caseload spanning the lifespan, in a team that values high-quality, thoughtful care.
Why Join Us?
The Shellharbour Clinic is a respected psychology practice serving the Illawarra community. We help clients understand their needs and move forward with practical recommendations, with heart, integrity and clinical expertise at the core of our work. Our values of Excellence, Growth, Enthusiasm, Support, Integrity and Warmth shape how we care for clients and support one another.
What We Offer
- A supported start: case consultation, peer support and a team that shares assessment work, so you're never working alone.
- Assessment tools provided: iPads for Q-Interactive administration, standardised questionnaires, TOVA and ADOS-2 materials.
- A varied caseload: referrals from preschool-aged children through to older adults.
- Flexible working arrangements: part time to full time, with an agreed workload covering assessment sessions, scoring, report writing and feedback.
- Professional development: regular in-house development and an annual CPD allowance.
- Dedicated administrative support: an experienced admin team and paperless systems, so you can focus on clinical work.
- A welcoming workplace: designated mental health days, comfortable consulting rooms and regular team connection.
- Possibility to continue: ongoing part-time assessment work may be available beyond the initial term, depending on practice needs.
About the Role
You'll manage assessments from referral review through to clinical interviews, testing, interpretation, report writing and feedback. You'll give clear, individualised recommendations to clients and their support networks. Depending on your training and experience, the work may include:
- Neuropsychological assessments
- Cognitive and educational assessments
- ADHD assessments (child and adult)
- Autism assessments (ADOS-2 training is an advantage but not required)
- Functional assessments
Your assessment mix will reflect your training and interests, and it will grow as your experience does. You can also combine assessment with therapy if you'd like a mixed caseload.

Working Arrangements
This is a fixed-term contract with an immediate start, though we're happy to agree a start date that fits around the end of your program. The initial term is 6 months, with potential to extend.
