Mr Zachary Main
Hello,
My name is Zach and I am a Student Repres of the Collage of Clinical Psychologists - SA Branch Committee.

I am studying my Honours year in Psychological Science and hope to go on to study at the Masters level and seek endorsement.

I am a mature age student, who, together with my wife own and operate Kind Healthy Company, a paediatric Occupational Therapy practice in Adelaide. One day I hope to be able to practice as a psychologist in our practice.

Whilst not studying and working, I enjoy spending time with our four young children.
