Job description

Occupational Therapist – Generalist, Mackay, QLD

If you enjoy being an OT because of the variety – not despite it – this role will suit you.

We’re partnering with a growing allied health provider that keeps things simple: strong clinical work, supportive team culture, and flexibility that actually means something. No rigid moulds—just space to practise in a way that works for you.

What makes this role different?

This isn’t a “tick-the-box” OT role. You’ll have the freedom to shape your caseload across adults and/or paediatrics, depending on your strengths and interests. Whether you prefer clinic-based work, community visits, or a blend of both—the structure is flexible.

Your day-to-day may include:

• Functional assessments and goal setting that genuinely reflect client needs
• Equipment prescription and home modifications
• Working with NDIS and private clients
• Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team that values input (not just reports)

What you’ll get in return:

• A role that adapts to your clinical interests over time
• Support without micromanagement
• A team that understands workload balance
• Competitive salary package + performance incentives
• Ongoing professional development and mentoring

Who this would suit:

• AHPRA registered Occupational Therapist
• Someone who enjoys a mixed caseload or wants to keep options open
• A clinician who values autonomy but still wants support when needed
• Confident communicator with a practical, client-focused mindset

Why Mackay?

Mackay offers the best of both worlds—coastal living with a strong local community and career opportunities. Think weekends exploring the Whitsundays, easy access to beaches, and a relaxed pace of life without sacrificing professional growth. It’s a great place to build experience while actually enjoying your downtime.
