Imogen Sartar, Psychologist

“I have been supported by MHJHADS to complete the requirements for the ‘5+1’ internship whilst working at MHJHADS and was able to successfully complete my long-term goal of gaining general registration as a psychologist.

I would encourage anyone considering an internship to work as a psychologist to consider MHJHADS and the fantastic opportunities that the division offers that cater to a diverse range of interests and types of work within the field of psychology.”

Jade Nolan, Psychologist

“MHJHADS has provided me with support to meet professional development and supervision requirements, as well as support to pursue my own professional interests as a psychologist such as endorsement in clinical psychology, participate in training for different therapies, and meet and maintain the requirements to be a board approved supervisor for other psychologists.”
