The Facts

Across Australia, psychologists and their clients are being stretched to breaking point. Long waits, workforce shortages, and rising burnout are leaving gaps in care that current systems can’t keep up with.

Sustainable care starts with a sustainable clinician.

We are Ready when you’re not.™

>73% of psychologists run a waitlist.

More than seven in ten psychologists report running a waitlist, leaving clients waiting months before they can be seen.

6+ Months Rural Wait

In some rural areas, clients wait over six months due to extreme workforce shortages and uneven service distribution.

70% Facing Burnout

More than two-thirds of psychologists report burnout symptoms, driven by rising demand and compassion fatigue.

35% Workforce Capacity

Australia is meeting only a third of its psychology workforce target, leaving one in three psychologists unable to take new clients

80% Female Workforce

With the profession dominated by women, parental leave and extended absences often create service gaps across clinics.

0% Income on Leave

Many psychologists face income loss during leave unless supported, placing pressure on both practitioner wellbeing and client continuity.
