LIVE WEBINAR: So, You’re Thinking About Private Practice?

Are you thinking about working in private practice as a psychologist, but unsure what the different options actually involve?

Private practice can look very different depending on the arrangement. You may be considering contracting, applying for a salaried role, joining a group practice, or eventually setting up on your own. Each pathway comes with its own benefits, challenges, responsibilities, and practical considerations.

This live 2-hour introductory webinar is designed for psychologists who are curious about private practice and want a clearer understanding of what to consider before taking the next step.

The webinar will provide a basic introduction to:

• Different private practice arrangements, including contracting, salaried roles, group practice, and solo practice

• Key benefits and challenges of each arrangement

• Practical considerations when entering private practice

• Questions to ask when deciding whether a role or arrangement is the right fit

• Personal and professional factors that may influence your decision-making

• Brief introduction to Medicare

This webinar may be suitable for provisional psychologists, early career psychologists, clinicians considering a move into private practice, or psychologists wanting to better understand the different ways private practice can be structured.

This webinar will be presented via Zoom on Wednesday 19th August 6:30pm - 8:30pm (AEST)

Early Bird pricing ends Wednesday 11th August.
