Part-time OR Full-time | CQ Psych Services | Gladstone QLD
What if your workplace didn’t just support your clinical work — but actively supported your wellbeing, growth, and long-term career?
At CQ Psych Services, we have intentionally built a practice where clinicians can do meaningful work, grow professionally, and feel supported by an exceptional team.
Due to continued growth and strong referral demand, we are inviting Psychologists, Provisional Psychologists, Counsellors and other mental health clinicians to express interest in joining our team.
Many of our clinicians join us after experiencing the pressures of traditional private practice and are seeking a more sustainable, supportive and collaborative way of working.
Why Join CQ Psych Services?
At CQ Psych Services, our clinicians are supported to build sustainable and fulfilling careers in private practice.
Our workplace culture is built around:
• Collaboration
• Respect
• Integrity
• Teamwork

Our model includes:
• No appointments booked outside agreed working hours

This approach helps clinicians maintain high-quality work without burnout.

“To be our community’s leading and most trusted provider of innovative, compassionate, and personalised mental health care — delivering quality therapy that inspires and motivates clients to create the best life for themselves.”
