As a Psychologist in the Navy, you will be responsible for providing mental health and psychological services to Navy personnel both at sea and on land. Navy Psychologists are responsible for offering psychological assessments, brief interventions, mental health screenings, critical incident support, and mental health training.

After completing Navy Officer and professional qualification training, they undergo additional training ashore before deploying to Navy ships as part of a larger health team.

Salary:

Upon completion of your initial military and employment training, you’ll enjoy a salary package starting from $120,446 per annum.

Fitness requirements:

A Pre-entry Fitness Assessment (PFA) is no longer a requirement for Navy roles, except for Divers. To join the Navy, it's important that you meet the necessary medical and physical requirements. Regular exercise prior to joining will set you up for success as it is an important part of training and service life.

Once you join, Navy will support your physical conditioning to ensure you're prepared to serve. You'll also have access to chef-made meals, gyms, sports and fitness sessions run by physical training instructors
