We started Brave HQ with the intention of creating a working environment that was family friendly and had a home away from home comfort. We see people of all ages but tend to appeal to the young and young at heart. Our unique focus is our cross disciplinary work with tutors who provide support for young people who need tailored educational support (2E, gifted, ADHD, ASD, high achievers, and those with significant learning challenges). The ideal psychologists to join our team will have a distinctive mix of personality, skills and interest areas that optimise our ability to direct the right clients to.
Our rooms are bright and thoughtfully furnished to be functional for all forms of psychological work (individual, couple, group, presentation, testing, etc). The work we do requires regular self care and this is at the heart of our layout. Our work attire is Team downtime spaces include full kitchen, indoor dining area, and two outdoor spaces with seating, lounge and BBQ. The garden is full of fruits, herbs and vegetables and there are hammocks among the shady grassed areas. We are five minutes walk to the beach, great food and coffee, and an IGA. We are also minutes from childcare centres, Edithvale train station, bus terminals, major roads, highways, and Eastlink.
