A Truly Mixed Caseload

This role is suited to a Physiotherapist who enjoys variety and autonomy.

Rather than working exclusively with one clinical population, you may move between an older adult requiring falls-prevention training, an NDIS participant working toward functional goals, and a client recovering from surgery or an injury.

The organisation's model is centred on personalised, exercise-based care, with treatment plans adapted to the client's goals, abilities and home environment.

What We Offer

• Diverse and rewarding caseload

• AHPRA registered or eligible for registration
• Passionate about client-centred care
• Comfortable working with a mixed caseload

• Strong in assessment, exercise prescription and rehabilitation
• Interested in aged care, disability and community physiotherapy
• A good communicator with clients, families and support teams
• Organised and capable of managing a mobile caseload
• Adaptable to different home environments
• Committed to evidence-based practice
• Passionate about helping people maintain independence and achieve meaningful goals

New graduate Physiotherapists are encouraged to apply. Previous experience with aged care, NDIS, neurological rehabilitation or community physiotherapy is advantageous, but clinicians with a strong interest in developing these skills are also encouraged to apply.

Why Join Us?

If you enjoy building genuine relationships with clients, working autonomously and seeing the real-world impact of physiotherapy, this role offers an opportunity to practise outside the traditional clinic environment.

You will work directly in clients' homes, allowing you to understand their everyday challenges and develop practical rehabilitation programs that fit naturally into their lives.

The focus is on helping clients move better, build strength, improve confidence and maintain independence.
