About the role

We're looking for an experienced allied health professional with strong musculoskeletal

knowledge and a passion for improving injury management outcomes.

This is a chance to use your clinical expertise in a different way. You won't be delivering hands-

on treatment. Instead, you'll work alongside our Injury Nurse Coordinators, giving them clinical

guidance, coaching and education so they become more capable and confident in managing

You’ll also talk directly with treating allied health providers. You'll discuss treatment

approaches, offer a clinical perspective and encourage practice that lines up with current

evidence and best-practice treatment guidelines.

You’ll work across workers' compensation, CTP and other compensable injury schemes, as

well as with private health insurance members. In this role you’ll help build effective recovery

pathways, improve treatment quality and make sure injured people get the right support to

recover as well as they can.

What you'll be doing

• Provide clinical guidance: Be a clinical resource for Injury Nurse Coordinators. Help them understand musculoskeletal injuries, treatment options, what recovery should look like and the rehabilitation pathways available.
• Coach and develop capability: Upskill and mentor Injury Nurse Coordinators so they're more confident spotting recovery barriers and treatment concerns and managing injuries well.
• Influence treatment approaches: Talk with allied health providers about treatment plans that may not match best-practice guidelines, and encourage evidence-based, appropriate rehabilitation.
• Promote best practice: Review injury management approaches and treatment recommendations, and find ways to improve clinical outcomes and recovery pathways.
• Support complex presentations: Give clinical input and recommendations on complex musculoskeletal injuries, or on cases where recovery isn't progressing as expected.
• Build collaborative relationships: Work constructively with treating practitioners, allied health providers, insurers and internal teams to coordinate injury management.
• Drive continuous improvement: Find ways to improve clinical knowledge, injury management practice and the overall quality of recovery support, and help shape the program as it grows.
• Keep accurate clinical documentation.

About you

You're a clinically confident allied health professional who pairs strong musculoskeletal

knowledge with excellent communication, relationship-building and influencing skills. You enjoy

sharing what you know and helping others develop. You're comfortable having constructive

conversations that can change treatment decisions and improve recovery outcomes.

You'll bring:

• A tertiary qualification in Exercise Physiology, Physiotherapy or another relevant allied health discipline, with current registration or accreditation for your profession (e.g. AHPRA, ESSA or equivalent)
• 3+ years of post-graduate experience, ideally in musculoskeletal, injury or chronic condition management
• Strong knowledge of musculoskeletal injuries, including injury mechanisms, tissue healing, recovery expectations and evidence-based treatment approaches
• A sound understanding of current rehabilitation principles and best-practice treatment guidelines
• The ability to think critically about treatment recommendations and recognise when an approach isn't supporting the best recovery
• Confidence talking with allied health providers and having informed, sometimes challenging, clinical conversations
• Excellent communication skills, including turning clinical concepts into practical guidance for people with different levels of clinical knowledge
• Strong digital skills, including confidence with clinical systems and electronic records
• Good organisation, the ability to work on your own and manage competing priorities
• A collaborative approach, sound professional judgement and the ability to influence positive change
• Experience in workers' compensation, CTP or other compensable injury schemes
• Experience with return-to-work or injury management frameworks
• Experience coaching, mentoring or educating clinical teams or other health professionals
• Previous telehealth or phone-based experience

Work arrangements

• 0.8 FTE (part-time), 6-month fixed-term contract with the opportunity to extend
• Fully remote. You'll need a reliable home internet connection and a private, dedicated workspace
• Hours are mainly 9am–5pm AEST on your working days, with some flexibility

Applicants must have full rights to work in Australia.
