About the job Psychologist – Contractor Essjay Psychology (Telehealth) About Essjay Psychology Essjay Psychology is a growing, clinician-led telehealth practice built by psychologists who genuinely care about how therapy is delivered — for clients and for clinicians. We’re a young service with momentum, skill, and heart. While we work entirely via telehealth, our aim is simple: to give clients the felt experience of an in-clinic service, without the friction. That same philosophy applies to how we support our psychologists. Strong systems matter — but people matter more. Our admin team goes beyond “processing” to actively support clinicians by handling the chasing, the paperwork, the billing, and the back-and-forth with external systems, so your energy stays where it belongs: with your clients. The Opportunity We’re inviting a psychologist to join Essjay Psychology as an independent contractor, working within a collaborative, supportive, and neurodiversity-affirming environment. This role suits clinicians who value autonomy but don’t want to feel isolated — who want the freedom of contractor work with the steadiness of a team around them. We welcome both experienced psychologists and early-career clinicians who are seeking thoughtful guidance, peer connection, and a place to grow. What Your Work Will Look Like As a contractor with Essjay Psychology, you will: Provide high-quality, evidence-based psychological services via telehealth Work with clients across a range of presentations, matched thoughtfully to your skills and interests Maintain clinical records using streamlined digital systems Set agreed working hours that suit your life and capacity Be supported by admin staff who actively manage referrals, billing, and external coordination What We Offer Our Psychologists Exceptional Administrative Support You’ll be supported by an admin team experienced across Medicare, TAC, WorkSafe, and NDIS. This includes following up case managers, organising case conferences, liaising with GPs, managing billing, and handling system queries. If something needs chasing, waiting on hold, or coordinating, we’ll take care of it — so your time stays with your clients.
