Occupational Therapist – Paediatric or Mixed Caseload
Multiple locations | Community-based with flexibility | Strong MDT support
Why you’ll enjoy working here
If you’re an Occupational Therapist who wants flexibility in your caseload and the chance to make a real difference in everyday life, this role gives you genuine choice — without compromising on support, learning or career progression.
You’ll join a large, values-driven allied health organisation that works in the social model, supporting people with disability in the places that matter most: homes, schools, workplaces and community settings. The focus here is on participation, inclusion and practical, real-world outcomes — not just ticking boxes or therapy done in isolation.
Working in this model means helping people build skills and confidence to participate in daily life, engage in their communities and live as independently as possible — not just achieve goals in a clinic room.
Whether you’re passionate about paediatrics or enjoy working across a mixed caseload (children and adults), this role can be shaped around your interests, strengths and longer-term goals.
What you’ll get
The impact you’ll make
In this role, you’ll support children and/or adults to build independence, confidence and participation in everyday life by:
Support, learning & growth
You’ll be well supported, no matter your career stage. Support here is structured, ongoing and built into the role:
If you’re transitioning into community or NDIS practice, you’ll be supported to build confidence with goals, outcomes and documentation — without being expected to know everything from day one.
Early-career OTs are supported to consolidate skills, and experienced OTs are encouraged to deepen expertise or step into leadership over time.
Who this role is ideal for
This role would suit you if you:
What you’ll bring
Experience in NDIS or disability is welcome, but not essential. Support is available for clinicians building confidence in community practice.
What matters here
This is an organisation built around shared values and long-term investment in its people:
You’ll be part of a well-established national organisation with strong clinical frameworks, shared learning across locations, and a genuine commitment to clinician wellbeing and retention.
The result is flexibility, support and work that genuinely makes a difference.
Interested?
If you’re looking for an Occupational Therapy role where you can grow, feel supported, and make a meaningful impact in everyday life, we’d love to hear from you.
We’re proud to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace, welcoming applicants from all backgrounds including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, LGBTQIA+ communities, veterans and people with disabilities.
