About the Role

CatholicCare is seeking a passionate and skilled Therapist to join our Tuggerah-based MST-CAN (Multisystemic Therapy for Child Abuse and Neglect) team.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity to work on complex, meaningful cases that truly change lives.

You’ll deliver in-home and community-based interventions to families where child abuse or neglect has occurred—helping to rebuild trust, safety, and connection. You’ll manage a small caseload, allowing you to focus deeply on each family’s unique needs.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Specialised training in the MST-CAN model— No prior experience with MST-CAN? No problem—comprehensive training and certification will be provided.
• Weekly group supervision, individual coaching, and ongoing professional development
• Supportive, tight-knit team that values collaboration and growth
• Transferable skills that open doors to MST programs worldwide

About You

• Master’s degree in psychology or social work preferred (or a four-year degree with relevant experience in child protection).
• Experience in family therapy, trauma-informed care, and/or substance use treatment.
• Familiarity with Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and behaviourally based approaches (desirable).
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• A passion for working with vulnerable families and a commitment to evidence-based practice.

Why CatholicCare?

• Salary packaging to boost your take-home pay
• Extra paid leaveday (CatholicCare Day)
• Employee Assistance Program for free, confidential support
• A safe, inclusive and values-driven culture where everyone belongs
