This is a full-time (part time considered), permanent role in a niche area of physiotherapy, working across Symmetry Physio clinics in Hoppers Crossing, Taylors Lakes and Ascot Vale. You'll manage a caseload of concussion (acute and persisting), vestibular, headache and whiplash presentations, including private, TAC and WorkCover patients. The role includes travel between clinics during the day and around two evenings per week, finishing up to 8pm. You'll manage your caseload fairly independently, but you're never on your own with it. The Concussion Central team is always a phone call away.

Key responsibilities

• Conducting comprehensive assessments of patients with complex presentations
• Developing and implementing individualised treatment plans to address symptoms and support recovery
• Providing evidence-based interventions, including vestibular and balance exercises, oculomotor retraining and manual therapy
• Educating patients and their families about their condition and supporting behaviour change, particularly for those with persisting symptoms
• Collaborating with GPs and other health professionals to provide multidisciplinary care
• Maintaining detailed and timely clinical records
• Contributing to the ongoing evaluation and improvement of our services
• Promoting the service through activities such as talks to GPs and sports clubs

About you

• Full current AHPRA registration, with at least 2 years of physiotherapy experience in Australia, the UK or New Zealand
• Australian citizenship or permanent residency
• A current driver's licence and your own car

• Experience managing TAC and WorkCover patients (desirable, not essential)
• Comfortable working with patients who may be psychologically or emotionally complex, with the ability to explain things clearly and build trust
• Excellent communication skills, with patients and other health professionals
• Well organised, with strong time management, planning and follow through
• A genuine passion for learning, with a drive to keep developing your physiotherapy skills and your own self-awareness
• Personable, positive and enthusiastic

You'll gain experience with a patient group most physiotherapists rarely get to work with, alongside a team that puts a lot into learning and development. As the business grows, there's real opportunity to help shape what we do and how we do it.

Unique clinical experience that builds skills most physios don't get the chance to develop

Mentoring from highly experienced senior physiotherapists who are invested in your development

Introductory and ongoing training, plus regular individual case reviews

Quarterly team professional development sessions and a professional development allowance

The chance to contribute ideas to our processes and services as part of a growing business

A friendly team that communicates openly, welcomes feedback and is open to new ideas

About us

Concussion Central is a physiotherapy service that focuses on concussion and vestibular rehabilitation. We started around 3 years ago and are now a team of five physios, growing quickly. Our lead physio has over 20 years of experience in neurological physiotherapy, and several of the team have worked in specialist concussion and vestibular clinics before joining us. We look at the whole picture with each patient, ie. the physical, psychological and social factors that are contributing to their symptoms, using education, manual therapy and exercise as our main tools.
