About the Role
Exciting Opportunities for Psychologists – Acute Allied Health Services
We have exciting opportunities for psychologists to join the friendly and supportive Psychology team within Acute Allied Health Services.
Our psychologists are based at both Canberra Hospital and Centenary Hospital for Women and Children, providing services across the Length of Stay (LOS) - the amount of time a patient spends in the hospital. Our team delivers psychological assessment and intervention to children, adolescents, and adults across a range of inpatient and outpatient acute hospital settings.
These positions may be filled by a Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, or Health Psychologist.
In these roles, you will work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary healthcare team and contribute to high-quality, client-centred care. You will also provide clinical support and supervision to psychologists and/or students on placement and work closely with allied health, medical, and nursing colleagues to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are committed to supporting our psychologists through regular clinical supervision, professional development opportunities, and participation in quality improvement and research activities. We are seeking psychologists with demonstrated leadership capability who will contribute to a positive workplace culture.
