Job Description

Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (Contractor)

The Family Counselling Clinic - Burwood NSW

The Family Counselling Clinic is inviting expressions of interest from Accredited Mental Health Social Workers seeking to work independently within a structured and professionally supported private practice. 

This is a contractor position suited to practitioners who are either established in private practice or transitioning into private work, and who value both autonomy and a well-run environment.

About the Practice

The clinic provides services to children, young people and adults presenting with a range of mental health presentations. Also, families, including those navigating separation and more complex family dynamics.

Work within the practice is thoughtful and structured, with a focus on relationships, systems, and meaningful clinical outcomes.

The clinic is designed for practitioners who want to do good work in a consistent and professional setting.

The Model

Practitioners operate as independent contractors and are responsible for managing their own clinical work.

The practice provides:

  • Consulting rooms within a purpose-built clinic 
  • Administrative systems and support 
  • Access to established referral pathways 
  • A structured and professional environment 

Practitioners are engaged on a service fee model, which contributes to the use of rooms, administrative support, and shared clinic infrastructure.

This model is best suited to practitioners who are comfortable with the responsibilities of private practice and are looking for a stable and well-supported base to work from.

How Work is Structured

  • Practitioners manage their own caseloads and schedules 
  • Administrative support assists with bookings, payments, and enquiries 
  • Systems are in place to ensure consistency across the practice 
  • Practitioners maintain their own clinical records 

There is flexibility in how practitioners structure their work, within a framework that supports consistency and professionalism.

Working Environment

While practitioners work independently, the clinic offers the opportunity to work alongside others in a shared environment.

There is scope for:

  • informal collaboration 
  • shared thinking where appropriate 
  • working within a team of practitioners with a range of experience 

The environment suits practitioners who value working alongside others, without needing to rely on them.

Who This Suits

This opportunity is best suited to practitioners who:

  • are comfortable working independently in private practice 
  • value structure, organisation, and clear systems 
  • are able to manage the responsibilities of contractor work 
  • are interested in working with individuals and/or families 
  • want to be part of a professional environment, rather than working in isolation

Requirements

  • Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (Medicare provider)
  • Current registration and professional insurance 
  • Experience working with individuals, families, or complex presentations
