The Gender Clinic comprises a specialist team of psychiatrists, psychologists, social work, peer work, research and administrative staff.
About The Role
Gender Clinic psychologists provide clients with comprehensive assessments consistent with WPATH (World Professional Association for Transgender Health) Standards of Care. You will contribute to client management plans as a valued member of a multidisciplinary team. Grade 3 incumbents will also provide supervision as appropriate. Opportunities include involvement with our Consumer Advisory Panel, research and quality activities.
