Join CAYA Psychology as an independent contractor.
We platform your practice.
An established Geelong private practice with an immediate caseload, professional consulting rooms, and full admin support behind you — so you can focus on the clinical work, not the business of running one.
Interested? We'd like to hear from you.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to discuss the practice model, referral pathways, and service agreement structure in more detail. There's no commitment required at this stage.
Call Joe directly on 0413 602 759. There's no obligation to apply — happy to have a confidential conversation about the role, the contractor model, or what you're looking for.
Expression of interest
A few things applicants usually ask.
More on the fee structure, supervision, and how this compares to other contracting models is answered in full once you apply. Or call Joe directly on 0413 602 759 — no obligation.
This opportunity was built for where you already are.
This is a genuinely flexible model — from 1 to 5 days a week, with telehealth if that suits you, and no expectation this replaces the work you already do.
Returning from parental leave
A flexible private practice base that fits around your availability, with no pressure to commit to full-time hours.
School or education-based psychologist
Supplement your school-based work with 1–2 days per week in private practice, accessing clinical assessment caseload aligned with what you already do.
Seeking assessment-focused work
Already working in another private practice but wanting additional assessment caseload without the overhead of building referral pathways yourself.
Bring your own clients or referrals
Bring your existing caseload, choose the clients you want to work with, and explore a clinical niche. We can assist with targeted referral pathways to support the work you want to be doing.
We platform your practice.
You bring the clinical skill. We bring the infrastructure that lets it run as a practice, not a side hustle.
Reception and bookings
Experienced reception and administrative support with online booking and practice management systems already established and running.
Medicare and billing
Full Medicare claiming, processing, and billing infrastructure. No gap in your cash flow, no chasing invoices.
Active referral network
Established relationships across schools, paediatricians, and allied health providers in the Geelong region. Referrals come in without you having to maintain those relationships.
Furnished consulting rooms
Fully equipped, professionally furnished consulting rooms in Manifold Heights, Geelong, available anywhere from 1 to 5 days a week depending on what suits you. Happy to build a caseload around telehealth as well, or a mix of both.
Full clinical independence
You retain complete autonomy over your clinical work, caseload decisions, client relationships, and clinical records. This is your practice.
Assessment tools included
Access to Qinteractive WISC, WAIS, and WIAT, along with executive function and ASD rating scales, and more — already licensed and ready to use.
A tiered fee that works in your favour.
A fixed percentage takes a bigger slice every time you work harder. Ours works the other way — the more you bill, the more you keep.
Full fee schedule and service agreement terms are shared with shortlisted applicants, and a complete breakdown is waiting for you once you apply.

Who you'll be working with.
Joe Lewsey
Director & Board Approved Supervisor — Geelong
I'm a Registered Psychologist based in Geelong with more than 12 years of full-time clinical experience working with kids, teens, and adults.
That's more than 8,000 hours of therapy sessions.
This opportunity exists because I've built referral pipelines, systems, and a clinical reputation that generates more demand than one practitioner can meet. I'm looking for someone who wants to do serious clinical work in a well-supported environment, without spending years building it themselves.
Joe is also a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor, so formal supervision is available on the same paid basis it would be with any external supervisor. Day to day, you will also have informal support close at hand — particularly around the practical side of managing your own private practice.
53 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights
Located in Manifold Heights, Geelong — easily accessible with on-street parking and close to public transport.
