Independent practice, with the right support behind you

Stellar Collective is designed for experienced clinicians who want the flexibility and autonomy of independent practice, with the support of a professional community and established systems behind them.

As a Stellar Collective Member, you remain independent. You bring your own expertise, judgement and professional style to your work and make your own clinical decisions within your qualifications, registration, scope and experience.

We provide the infrastructure around you: helping with many of the operational and administrative aspects of practice, while connecting you with participants whose needs align with your expertise.

The result is more freedom to shape your independent career, and more time to focus on meaningful, high-quality clinical work.

How the model works

You stay independent

You operate as an independent contractor, manage your own professional responsibilities and make clinical decisions within your qualifications, registration, scope and experience.

We provide the support around you

Stellar Collective provides practical systems, administration support, governance frameworks, escalation pathways and service expectations that help independent practice run more smoothly.

We help connect you with participants

We connect participants, families and referrers with experienced clinicians whose skills and experience suit their individual needs, goals, location and service requirements. You can consider the opportunities that are right for you and your practice.

You are part of a professional community.

Members are connected through shared standards, practical support and a collective commitment to safe, ethical and participant-centred practice. You’ll have opportunities to connect locally and nationally through multidisciplinary learning, peer discussion and communities of practice.

Quality and safeguarding are built in

Our membership model includes clear standards for participant rights, privacy, documentation, safeguarding, reporting, billing integrity and professional conduct.
