Why PAWS Psychology?
A New Chapter in a Beautiful Space
In May 2025, we moved into a warm and welcoming new practice located in a charming cottage in Eltham. With three thoughtfully designed consulting rooms, a leafy outlook and safe outdoor client spaces, this environment is designed to feel like home, for both clients and clinicians. Onsite staff car parking is available.

Work Alongside Our PAWS Team
As our name suggests, therapy animals are an integral part of our practice. You’ll work alongside two beloved therapy dogs (Bella and Teddy) and two clinic cats (Salem and Shadow), creating a calming and connected atmosphere every day.

Work-Life Balance on Your Terms
The clinic operates weekdays from 8am to 8pm across offering the chance to work either a morning or afternoon schedule based on your preference, lifestyle and availability. We are also open Saturdays from 8am - 3pm.

Stay Connected to Nature
Our tranquil setting is ideal for walk-and-talk or nature-based therapy sessions. The nearby aqueduct trail, peaceful garden surrounds, and natural light throughout the practice support a relaxed and grounded way of working.

Complete Admin Support
Our admin team takes care of bookings, payments, Medicare rebates, and intake, so you can focus on what matters most, your clients.

Steady Referrals
We have a waitlist of neurodivergent children, adults and families ready to be matched with the right clinician. You’ll have a full caseload available from day one.

Competitive Earnings
Session fees of $245 (ongoing) and $295 (initial) for General Psychologists, and $290 (ongoing) and $340 (initial) for Clinical Psychologists, offer strong earning potential while preserving the flexibility and autonomy that define our way of working.
