A Different Contractor Model for Counsellors

At Belong Health, contractors are treated as independent professionals.
You maintain control over:

• The clients you work with
• The types of referrals you accept
• Your working days and hours
• Your preferred support areas
• Your caseload size and structure

​This allows you to create a workload that aligns with both your professional goals and personal lifestyle.

No KPIs or Productivity Targets

We do not impose:

• Billable hour quotas
• Productivity KPIs
• Forced caseload growth
• Pressure to increase utilisation

Our focus is on:

• Sustainable workloads
• Ethical and person-centred support
• Long-term practitioner alignment
• Professional autonomy

You are not treated as a revenue target.

---

Choose Your Caseload

One of the biggest differences at Belong Health is that contractors are not automatically assigned clients.
Instead, you can:

• Review referrals and waitlists
• Choose which clients you would like to support
• Accept referrals aligned with your interests and experience
• Decline referrals that do not suit your availability or professional preference

​This structure supports stronger clinician-client alignment and more sustainable caseload management.

---

Flexible Working Arrangements

We understand that flexibility is one of the main reasons clinicians choose contracting.

​As a Counselling contractor with Belong Health, you can:

• Choose the days you want to work
• Adjust your availability throughout the year
• Structure your schedule around personal commitments
• Build a workload that suits your preferred work-life balance

There are no fixed rosters or mandatory hours.

Strong Administrative Support

While contractors operate independently, Belong Health provides structured operational support designed to reduce administrative burden while maintaining contractor autonomy.

We understand that contractors prefer different ways of working. Some clinicians prefer full administrative support, while others prefer to manage aspects of their own diary and scheduling independently.

Our model is flexible and can be adapted to suit how you prefer to operate.
Support available includes:

• Administrative booking coordination (if preferred)
• Referral and waitlist management
• Weekly invoicing processes
• Online practice management systems
• Documentation systems and standards
• NDIS process support
• Interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities

Contractors may choose the level of operational support that best suits their workflow and preferred working style.

This structure allows contractors to maintain independence while operating within an established and professionally supported framework.
