Home and community-based • Flexible contractor role

Want to practise paediatric OT without overloaded caseloads or productivity targets?

Seeds Occupational Therapy is a small, independent, therapist-led practice providing home and community-based paediatric OT across Melbourne.

We believe therapists who feel properly supported provide better care. That means manageable workloads, fair remuneration, genuine flexibility and enough time to build meaningful relationships with children and families.

The role

We’re looking for a warm and thoughtful Occupational Therapist to join our growing team.

You’ll support children and families in their homes and communities, helping children participate more fully in everyday life through relational, strengths-based and evidence-informed practice.

You can shape the role around your life—whether you want to see a small number of clients each week or gradually develop a larger caseload. Referrals will be matched to your preferred geographic area wherever possible.

What you’ll receive

• Approximately 75% of the NDIS rate
• A fully flexible workload—you choose your days and caseload
• Regular clinical supervision and mentoring
• Strong administrative support
• No productivity quotas or pressure to overload your calendar
• Referrals matched geographically wherever possible
• Autonomy in your clinical work
• A small, collaborative and therapist-led team

About you

We’re more interested in who you are than how many years you’ve worked.

You’ll likely be someone who:

• Believes in connection before correction
• Is warm, reliable and genuinely curious
• Enjoys working alongside children, families and educators
• Communicates clearly and professionally
• Wants to keep developing as a clinician

Paediatric experience is welcome but not essential. New graduates are encouraged to apply.

Requirements

• Current AHPRA registration as an Occupational Therapist
• Working With Children Check
• NDIS Worker Screening Check, or willingness to obtain one
• Current driver’s licence and reliable vehicle
• ABN and appropriate professional insurance

Why Seeds?

No corporate owners.

No unnecessary KPIs.

No expectation to fill every space in your calendar.

Just good occupational therapy, supportive colleagues and enough time to do work you’re proud of.
