Mindstate Psychology is a facilities provider for clinicians. We supply the clients, the technology, the processes, the admin support and the rooms, so the only thing left on your desk is the clinical work you trained for.
Mindstate Psychology is one of Perth's leading providers of psychology jobs and a genuine destination for private-practice psychology jobs, structured around a facilities model rather than traditional employment. Clinicians run their own client work while we run the business behind it. Founded in 2018 by Dr Phil Watts, Mindstate has grown into one of the leading destinations for psychologists seeking a career in private practice in Western Australia, with particular depth in forensic assessments, risk assessments, and work with families affected by trauma or complex presentations. Psychologists here also collaborate closely with social workers, counsellors and carers as part of integrated client care. Joining Mindstate Psychology is an exciting opportunity for psychologists to join a community of like-minded health professionals in a collaborative and highly regarded WA psychology practice.
As a major provider of clinical psychologist jobs in Perth, WA, we require all applicants to hold full, current AHPRA registration. Roles are generally structured as fixed, ongoing positions, with the flexibility to suit psychologists coming from part-time academic settings or contract-based clinical work. Scope varies by specialisation, including forensic assessment, neurodevelopmental evaluation and autism diagnostics, and every psychologist has access to consistent referrals, peer supervision and ongoing professional development. We also support clinicians delivering remote or telehealth-based work, and can share local insights for applicants relocating to Perth.
Referral relationships, marketing, intake screening and waitlist management run centrally. You build a caseload matched to your scope and interests.
Practice management software, telehealth, secure records, neurofeedback hardware, HR software, and one of the largest libraries of gold-standard psychometric tests, licensed, maintained and paid for by us.
Consent, risk escalation, report templates, assessment workflows and audit-ready documentation. Proven systems, refined over thousands of episodes of care.
Bookings, reminders, rescheduling, Medicare claiming, invoicing, debtor follow-up and phone reception. Handled by our staff at the practice, not by you at 9 pm or an offshore team.
A consulting room you can make your own, fully furnished and set in the heart of South Perth, with free on-site parking, access to client testing stations, and boardroom all included.
In-house supervision, peer consultation, and free access to Mindstate Learning workshops, courses and research from industry leaders.

Even if we aren't hiring for roles currently, if you're an experienced (and AHPRA registered) psychologist interested in joining our team, we'd love to hear from you!
If your skills match our current availability, we'll reach out to organise a time to meet with you (usually in person at our offices). We'll discuss the role, your experience, how our practice works, and answer any questions.
If we think you're a good fit, we'll send a contract for you to sign, and the onboarding process begins!
We've put together a comprehensive onboarding program to help make the setup process as seamless and supportive as possible.
We regularly have opportunities across clinical psychology, forensic assessment, and neurodevelopmental evaluation. As a leading provider of psychology jobs in Perth, we welcome applications year-round, even outside advertised vacancies. We grow when the right clinican arrives.
Yes. All clinical roles require full, current AHPRA registration. We welcome applicants across registration types and experience levels, including those moving from contract or part-time academic/clinical roles.
Yes — Mindstate is built specifically for private practice psychology jobs. Rather than a standard employment model, psychologists run their own client work inside our infrastructure, with income tied to the work they take on.
Our roles are generally structured as fixed, ongoing positions rather than short-term contracts, but we work with each practitioner to structure a diary and caseload that fits their availability, including part-time arrangements.
Yes. Alongside general clinical psychology, we regularly have opportunities in forensic assessment (including risk assessments), autism and ADHD diagnostics, and neurodevelopmental evaluation, supported by senior practitioners with deep experience in these areas.
Referral generation, intake screening and waitlist management are handled centrally, so psychologists start with a caseload matched to their scope and availability rather than having to build a client base from scratch. While we cannot guarantee referrals due to factors outside our control, our admin and marketing teams work hard to ensure we distribute work across the practice according to availability, presenting concerns and client preferences.
Ultimately, we only make money when you are busy, so we are incentivised to keep you busy!
Unfortunately, our capacity to support placements is limited. Our business model relies on psychologists who can manage their own clinical caseload and work; we do not routinely take provisional psychologists. We may, from time to time, offer places for psychologists completing their clinical registrar program, provided they are eligible for Medicare and willing to manage their own business. Placement roles, if any, are advertise below.
