About the Organisation
Tobwabba Aboriginal Medical Service (Tobwabba) is a community controlled health service providing health care services to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community of Forster in NSW.

A rewarding career opportunity awaits
Tobwabba now has a rewarding opportunity for an experienced Psychologist to join their team based in Forster, NSW. This position is being offered on a full-time OR permanent part-time basis (3-4 days per week) with flexibility around the days worked.
Reporting to the Community Health Manager, you will provide holistic, primary health care focused, psychological services for Tobwabba clients with a specific focus on:
- Provision of trauma based psychological interventions, including individual and group therapeutic services;
- Provision of therapeutic intervention for clients with alcohol and/or other drug-use disorders;
- Provision of flexible, client-centric psychological interventions based on General Practitioner identified needs.
Working collaboratively with Aboriginal Health Workers and other staff, you will assist in creating awareness and acceptance of mental health therapeutic intervention in the AMS setting.

Relocation assistance is also negotiable for eligible candidates to help you move to the region, and you will also have access to general dental care benefits at the Tobwabba Dental Clinic, once your probation period has passed.
