Independently-practising perinatal psychologists required
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 has largely been based on colleague recommendations. Due to an increasing and unsustainable number of referrals, we are now seeking suitable candidates to express an interest in joining our team. We wish to expand in Melbourne's northern suburbs, regional Victoria, and on the Mornington Peninsula. 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. |
Approaching five years of service provision, APPN is the first-line referral point for many gps, obstetricians 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 and mentoring contributes to the ongoing provision of a high quality perinatal mental health service. As part of your membership with APPN, you will be included in upcoming comprehensive training on perinatal loss, which will result in immediate membership to The Perinatal Loss Centre.
Some of our members are actively involved in the coordination of Melbourne's Perinatal Mental Health Professionals Networks (MHPNs). These multi-disciplinary networks provide avenues for further professional development in perinatal mental health.
