Who you'll be working with

Our clients are infants, children, and young people with disabilities - supported from birth through to young adulthood. Your caseload will span the full scope of paediatric physiotherapy, focusing on gross motor development, mobility, strength, balance, postural control, and functional movement for participation in home, school, and community life. This may include gait training, assistive mobility devices, early developmental support, and goals that promote independence in movement and physical participation. No two days look the same.

The work itself

• Mostly clinic-based, with some community and home visits to keep things varied

• A dedicated admin team handling calls, bookings, payments, and NDIS support so you can focus on your clients

Your growth

• A dedicated mentor from day one, plus weekly supervision with your Team Leader or Clinical Supervisor

• Fortnightly Think Tanks - structured caseload discussions designed for shared learning across the team

• Monthly team meetings and quarterly development days for PD and team building

• Opportunities to get involved in research and projects

• Full NDIS induction and shadow sessions to set you up for success

The culture

• A genuinely inclusive, supportive team who look out for each other

• Transparent management that communicates openly and takes wellbeing seriously

• Regular social activities - because a team that enjoys each other does better work

The perks

• Above award salary + super

• 6 weeks annual leave

• NFP salary packaging (more take-home pay)

• Travel allowance

• 1pm finish every Friday - every week, not just sometimes
