Are you an experienced, independently-practising, Perinatal Clinical Psychologist?
The Antenatal & Postnatal Psychology Network (APPN) is Melbourne’s premier Perinatal Psychology service. Our network maintains a high level of perinatal expertise whereby member inclusion is largely based on colleague recommendations within the field.
Depending on your private practice location, this is a unique opportunity to practise independently, with no contractor fees involved. If successful, you will enjoy the independence and financial freedom of private practice whilst working within a team of supportive, collegial and collaborative perinatal psychologists, under the APPN banner.
After 9 years of service provision, APPN is the first-line referral point for many gps, obstetricians, maternity hospitals, genetics services, and maternal & child health centres. This is due to the exemplary service our members provide, and due to our centralised communication to referrers and to the general public (through a professional website, social media, talks/presentations).
In-house training, mentoring and peer supervision contributes to the ongoing provision of a high quality perinatal mental health service. As part of your membership with APPN, you will have discounted access to comprehensive training on perinatal loss, which will result in immediate membership to The Perinatal Loss Centre. You will also have access to multiple resources for your professional development.
Please submit your CV to Dr Renée Miller at [email protected]
Selection criteria
Doctorate or Masters in Clinical Psychology or Counselling Psychology with additional training for Clinical endorsement

Research conducted on a perinatal topic an advantage
