Work with Mind Over Matters
Contractor – Expressions of Interest
Mental Health Contractor
Mind Over Matters is an established independent mental health and social work practice based in Swan Hill, Victoria.
As our practice continues to grow, we're inviting expressions of interest from mental health professionals in the Swan Hill region who may be interested in joining us as independent contractors.
We're particularly interested in hearing from indivduals with mental health & counselling experience:
Psychologists
PACFA/ACA (tier 3 and above) -registered counsellors and psychotherapists
Accredited Mental Health Social Workers (AMHSWs)
Qualified social workers.
This is an EOI rather than a specific advertised vacancy. We're interested in having conversations with clinicians who want flexible contracting opportunuties.
We're interested in flexible arrangements that can work alongside existing private practice, other employment or family commitments.
Contractor requirements
To work with Mind Over Matters as an independent contractor, practitioners will need to have:
A current ABN and operate as an independent business (Eg. Sole Trader/Partnership or Company)
