Job description

Locum Physiotherapist- Lithgow Physiotherapy $75-$80/hr

Locum Physiotherapist | Four-week placement | 35 guaranteed hours per week | Lithgow, NSW

Looking for a well-paid, short-term role without a lengthy commitment or the pressure of building a caseload?

Lithgow Physiotherapy is offering an experienced physiotherapist the opportunity to step directly into an established clinic with patients ready to be seen, dedicated reception support and guaranteed hours.

Walk Into a Ready-Made Caseload — $70-$80/hr + Super

What makes this locum different?

• $80 per hour plus superannuation
• 35 guaranteed paid hours per week
• Approximately four weeks from 17 September 2026
• Established caseload from your first week
• No need to generate your own referrals
• No commission-only arrangement
• Dedicated reception and administrative support
• Independent clinical role without the burden of running the business
• Varied and interesting private-practice caseload
• Direct support from an experienced physiotherapist and clinic owner
• Flexible daily roster structure by negotiation
• Potential accommodation contribution for the right applicant
• Possibility of a short extension by mutual agreement

This opportunity could be ideal if you are:

• Between permanent positions
• Taking a career break but wanting a short block of work
• Travelling through NSW

Why is the position temporary?

Our current physiotherapist finishes on 17 September 2026, and a permanent replacement has already been secured.

The permanent physiotherapist is completing the necessary pre-employment arrangements before commencing. This locum position will bridge that short transition period and maintain continuity for our established patients.

• Musculoskeletal and sports injuries
• Post-operative rehabilitation
• WorkCover and CTP clients

• Older adults and community rehabilitation

The clinic owner will remain available for clinical and operational support throughout the placement.

What you’ll need

• Current AHPRA registration
• Professional indemnity insurance
• Full Australian working rights as we need someone straight away
• Private-practice or relevant musculoskeletal experience
• Confidence managing a caseload independently
• Clear, professional and reassuring communication
