Clinical Psychologist / Psychologist

About the practice

James Neil Medical is a long-established general practice on Ruthven Street in South Toowoomba, part of the Bernoth Centre alongside pathology and pharmacy. We are a bulk billing practice with a team of GPs, GP registrars and practice nurses, and we look after a broad community — young families, older patients, and a significant refugee and migrant population, particularly Kurdish and Arabic speaking.

We are establishing psychology as a new service within the practice. This is a chance to build something from the beginning inside an established clinic, with the reception, billing, booking and clinical systems already running around you.

The work

You would carry your own caseload of adults, and adolescents if that suits you, working across the presentations that come through general practice — anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, chronic illness adjustment, and relationship and family stress.

You would work alongside GPs who know their patients well and who are on site to talk to. Care planning happens in the same building rather than across a referral gap, and you would have direct input into how the psychology service is set up — appointment lengths, session structure, intake process, and how referrals flow.

The role is hybrid. Consulting rooms are available on site, and telehealth from home for the remainder. How that splits is something we would work out with you.

Who we are looking for

• General or Clinical registration as a Psychologist with AHPRA, with no restrictions on practice

• Medicare provider eligibility, or eligible to apply

• Comfortable working independently while being part of a wider clinical team

• Interested in general practice settings and the range of presentations that come with them

• Experience with interpreters, or interest in working with refugee and migrant communities, is valued but not required

Fully registered applicants only — we are not set up to provide board-approved supervision for provisional psychologists at this stage.

What we offer

• Employee or contractor — genuinely flexible, and we are happy to discuss which suits you

• Hybrid working — consulting rooms on site, telehealth from home

• No admin load — reception, bookings, billing and Medicare claiming are handled

• A voice in how it is built — this is a new service, not an existing model you slot into

• CPD support and time allowance, discussed at offer

• Independent practice — non-corporate, locally owned and run

Location

Toowoomba is a regional city of around 140,000, ninety minutes west of Brisbane, with a full range of schools, housing that is achievable, and no commute worth complaining about. The practice is on Ruthven Street with parking on site.
