School psychologists

With more than 580 school psychologists in public schools across Western Australia, we are the largest employer of psychologists in the state. We are also a growing service, with a commitment to recruit more than 100 additional psychologists to provide support for students and promote positive mental health.

School psychologists are registered health practitioners who support the work of schools in enhancing student achievement, engagement and wellbeing. They apply their expertise in mental health, learning, human development, behaviour and school systems. School psychologists work in a range of diverse education settings with students, school leaders, staff, parents, the community and interagency partners.

Whether you are a psychology student, graduate or a psychologist with experience looking for a change, becoming a school psychologist in our public schools makes a real difference in the lives of young people and can take you to amazing places across Western Australia.
